We got approved Vs. we got approval
Solution 1:
get is a stand-in for many other verbs, among them: become, receive, buy (purchase), be
- I got approval. I received approval.
- I got a letter today. I received a letter today.
get is also used instead of be:
- I got approved. = I was approved.
- I got fired. = I was fired.
was/get approved is not adjectival. It is a passive construction:
-
I got approved [by x to do y]. For example.
get approved is more colloquial and be approved is a bit more formal.
