It got you paralysed vs It paralysed you
I know "get" has a lot of meanings. But what is this one - to cause something to happen? I do not think it is "have sth done" but not sure of course.
It got you paralysed.
What is the difference against
It paralysed you.
This is the causative use of "get." Other causatives include "let," "make," and "have." It's probably best thought of as a special kind of passive.
I found a mini tutorial on causatives, if you're interested. It describes some of the differences, which I think was your original question.
