Is the usage of `get on well�okay? What does it exactly mean?
Would you use it to express that things are okay again?
Sometimes I feel depressed for one or two days but afterwards I g e t o n well.
Her parents recognized her self-made (??)injuries.
Please comment and tell me if the sentences are A (cceptable) or U(nacceptable) Please indicate A /U. Don`t just correct the sentences.
Thank you. |

I usually hear the phrase "get on well" as shorthand for "get along well". For example:
I get on well with my wife's family.
I and my brother used to fight all the time, but now that we are older, we get on well.
