Question about English (US)
is "Get focused" and "get concentrated" correct?
I hear stay focused much more than get focused. and I don't know why but I find both of the above ones really odd. I'd rather say "to concentrate and to focus on sth."

“Get focused” and “stay focused” are used commonly used in the US.
I have never heard anyone say “get concentrated” sounds strange. You could say “try to concentrate” or “work to concentrate”.
“Get” also implies you are or will be getting in the future and “concentrated” is the past tense. Either way “get concentrated” is not an expression.
