Question about English (US)
Can "get" be used in the same way as "bring"?
Let`s say I need you to bring my stuff to where I am now.
Generally, we could say
"Bring it (in)here please".
But could we say
"Get it (in) here please."?

Because I often see people in dramas using "get" in that kind of context.

Yes, “get” and “bring” can be used in similar ways (in some situations).
“Get it (in) here” sounds more abrupt and commanding, even with “please”. It sounds like (maybe) the speaker is annoyed with the person they’re talking to.
It’s not necessarily rude (it depends on the context), but generally, “bring” is more polite.

no. bring and get are PERFECTLY interchangeable
get it here please is strange
in the drama did they ask "how soon can you GET IT here"
this is normal...
which drama was it?

@uezato Thank you!
Well, It`s 24 series played by Kiffer Sutherland.
Do you know Jack Bauer in 24?
He says "Get him in here" in the season 5, when a suspect(Walt cummings) is held by Jack`s people in the next room and he needs to talk to him".
