覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず with があるので「相手との関係」を表す表現だと押さえる。get along だけでも「進む・やっていく」感覚があり、get along with で「その人とうまくやっていく」と広がる。like は「好き」、be friends with は「友達だ」が中心だが、get along with は性格や相性を含めて「関係が円滑」という意味。I get along well with my coworkers. の形ごと覚えると定着しやすい。
Focus on `with`: this phrase is about your relationship with another person. `Get along` has the feeling of moving smoothly, so `get along with` means you and someone move smoothly together. Remember the common shape `get along well with`.

get along with の語源・成り立ち Etymology
get は古ノルド語 geta「得る・到達する」、along は古英語 andlang「長さに沿って」が起源。相手と同じ線に沿って進める感覚が get along with の核で、そこから「仲良くする」になった。long や length も along と同根である。
"Get" comes from Old Norse and originally meant "obtain" or "reach," while "along" comes from Old English and meant moving "along the length of" something. The phrase first suggested going forward together on the same line or path. From that idea, "get along with" developed the sense of living or working together smoothly. "Long" and "length" share the same root as "along."
