Dear Teachers,

1. You�ve got to come get me and take me home, please Mama.
- I think �to come to get me� is better, right? Is this American English? And �get me� here means �pick me up�, right?

2. Come on Darling! You must tell me what has you so upset.
- �what has you so upset� means �what makes you so upset�, right?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

...come and get me, come and pick me up, come get me, come to get me...they all mean the same thing. great job!!

your second sentence is correct, as well.

2. ". . . what has you so upset" is fine, if a little idiomatic. You will also hear "what has you so worried," "what has you so frightened," "what has you so nervous," and the like.
