What are the differences between the three sentences?

Hi, I am a english learner. I am wondering what the differences between like the sentences below are.

A) Have you ever got scared in films? B) Do you ever get scared in films? C) Do you get scared in films?

Could you tell me what the differences you feel from them?

Thank you in advance. Fummy

Answer #1

Thank you all.

So, I gave you the improper sentences, right? Thank you for letting me know about it!! You all have made my understanding better!! Thank you very much!!

Answer #2

The part “in films” is a nuance of vernacular. They are not asking if the person gets scared while being in a film, but instead are asking if the person gets scared while in a movie theatre watching a film. heresjohnny is correct: “Do you get scared watching films?” is proper and much less confusing.

Answer #3

English is a hard language to learn because there are so many words that sound the same but have very different meanings such as, two, to, and too. In your example you have three examples of poor questions. I will try to explain.

A) Have you ever got scared in films?

First this is improper grammer, it should read:

A) Have you ever been scared in films?

This question is referring to the past tense “Have you ever been”

The word ever is not needed but does indicate an idea and emphasizes the point

B) Do you ever get scared in films? is not a past tense question but the point of the question is the same

C) Do you get scared in films? is the best of the three as it is does not overemphasize the point

All three lack a specific however, the question should read:

Do you get scared watching horror films? Now that is proper English

;)

Answer #4

first one is past tense and other two are present tense
