Hello Subhrasankar,

It is nice you are trying to use metaphors! Glue in isn't a common term and seems less commonly accepted. You could use another word although we understand your point. What comes to mind are:

"The car is stuck in the sand" "The car is buried in the sand" "The car is sticking out of the sand"

Hi.

This is a typical sample of what we refer to as colloquial language (used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary.) We have a similar saying, it's stuck like glue'.

Hi Faraaz Transitive verbs transfer their action onto direct objects; intransitive verbs don’t. Phrasal Verbs follow the same rules Intransitive phrasal verbs have no direct object. “Look after” is a transitive phrasal verb Best Regards

The grammar written in this question also seems to be slightly incorrect, could you just double check it as well?

The verb "to get" can have many meanings. Starting from "get up" as in, "In the morning I get up at 6." Or "get on" and "get off". I get on the train, when I board it, and I get off the train at my destination. Or "get back". As in "hey, Tom, call me when you get back from your trip!" Or "Get rid of" something. "I have so much stuff in my house I want to get rid of it, or throw it away." Or, to "get into something" as in, "Oh I don't have any money, I'm getting into financial trouble." Or, "get away with" something. As in, "I did a big mistake, but I got away with it." It means that in the end, it wasn't a big deal. Or "to get over something," as in, "me and my boyfriend broke up last month, I have to get over him" which means to forget him.

Got down is OK. Get is a very flexible verb. Bent down is also good; it describes what he did more precisely.
