He got off the bus at Baker's Street.
We get off a bus or plane.
We get down from a high place, like a roof or from a ladder. _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |

Thanks mate! Another question. Which of the following sentences sounds natural?
Can you stop the car here? I want to get down. Can you stop the car here? I want to get off. Can you stop the car here? I want to get out.
When I say "I want to get off the car", does it mean I am sitting on its roof? _________________ Non-native speaker of English
