Phrasal Verb
“to get through” (plus another preposition) has a number of meanings:

1) it can mean to complete something e.g: we will never get through all this homework.
2) it can mean to penetrate e.g: we should use a bigger drill to get through this wall / the door was jammed so we couldn’t get through.
3) Used with ‘with’, it can mean to finish e.g: Have you got through with your studies?
4) Used with ‘to’, it can mean to make contact e.g: we couldn’t get through to Bob because his line was busy.

PSA
Carbon Monoxide poisoning
Transcript: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It can kill you. Don’t use anything indoors that burns fuel, such as gasoline-powered generators, camp stoves and lanterns, or charcoal grills. Opening doors and windows or using fans won’t prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. Have your vents and chimneys checked to make sure water heater and gas furnace exhausts aren’t blocked. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air right away. The message is from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
