Hello. I just want to clarify the answer of number 11 in the test module 1. the question is 'get sick' and 'be sick' have exactly the same meaning.
I checked online and the result was the same. Both have the same meaning 'be ill'. I think you should check the test answer keys.
Thank you.

Hi Minkwan Bae,
Unfortunately, they do not have the same meaning. Think about this, if someone wants to know when you came down with a cold, they would say, "when did you get sick?" and you would respond by saying, "I got sick (last night)"; you would not say, "I was sick (last night)" or "I am sick (last night)" because the first sounds like you already got over your illness and the second is just wrong. When we use "get sick" it is often in regards to when it occurred.
Hope that helps and have a nice day!
