So could you tell me your native speakers’ intuition
behind “taking a taxi.” intuition：直感
Well, I think, you know, “I’ll take a taxi.” Here are the various options.
So the emphasis is on selection, if you like, I’m going to select a taxi.
What do you think, Rosa? emphasis：強調、重点
Yeah, that’s a very good explanation.
So it really focuses on which one will I pick. I’ll pick the taxi.
ダイナミックな動きのニュアンス
You need to hurry to get to the bank before it closes.
閉店前に急いで銀行に行く必要があります。
I want to get to know you better.
君のことをもっとよく知りたい。※抽象的
get to 「希望が叶って〜するチャンスを得る」、「許可を得る」
We finally got to eat in a Taiwanese night market.
僕たちはついに台湾の夜市で食事ができるね。
So, at the end of the day, this example,
“got to eat” is totally the same as “get to the bank”, isn’t it?
Yes, I think the focus is on the destination or the goal.
That’s right. And the process involved, right?
So we couldn’t go yesterday. We couldn’t go the day before.
But we finally got to eat today.

ANSWER
1). Where can I get a train to Oxford?
2). I got to school late this morning due to a train delay.
due to = because of
due toの方が公的で硬い響き
So we can also use “because of” here, right?
Of course, you can also use “because of” here. But I think “due to” has a much high level of formality, a bit stiffer expression, right, Chris?
stiffer：硬い
And, don’t forget you can also use “going to”, with the same meaning.
So, Chris, do you remember the car that I used to commute to Oxford.
Huh? How could I forget it. どうやったら忘れられるの？
It was, basically, a wreck. Just to give one example.
The doors would hardly close, you know, they were dropping off.
I don’t know how you dare to go to Oxford every day.
wreak [rek]：だめ、ボロボロ dropping off：（水が）漏れる
how you dare to よく〜できるね dare [deər]
Well, I’m glad you finally got to the point in life.
You don’t have a car like that, Sensei.
