Please read: We've been having trouble getting staff. 1/ The subject of "getting" is we. Am I right? 2/ What does getting staff mean? 3/Could you interpret the meaning of this sentence? Thanks Quoc PS: I understand nothing about this sentence.

Hi,

Your sentence:

Quote:

We've been having trouble getting staff.

means: It has been difficult for us to find staff (employees) we can employ.
