Thanks Alan.
please let me know if these sentences really make a sense... "Rumhl was getting to office when you called her."
"if you had gotten to library a bit early,you would have got your books issued."

please reply sir if there is any grammatical mistake also.
so nice of you Alan.

Hi! Alan.
I don't understand this situation. I think we can use " come to" or "go to" in this situation is correct.
anyway, can you explain these situation Sonia give you above. Thanks a lot.

"Rumhl was coming (on her way) to the office when you called her."

"If you had arrived (gotten) to the library a bit earlier, you would have got (had) your books issued."

Good morning Sonia.

Only if you are asking the question, "What time will you be getting (arriving) to the office?"
