meaning of "get in" Sun Dec 02, 2007 9:55 am  meaning of "get in"
 

Hi,

I was doing some phrasal verb exercises and ran into this new to me meaning of "get in":

    get in - do (some practice)
    The team needs to get in some more practice before the match

Do you find this usage of "get in" natural?

Can I say something like I need to get in some English exercises?

Thanks !

Yes and yes. 'To get in' means 'to include in a relatively tight schedule'.

This makes much more sense to me than that scanty definition provided by the testbook

Thank you !
