get word是短语，意为‘获得消息’，get为不规则动词。

I got a word that the meeting is cancelled.I got word that the meeting is cancelled.

在短语'get word'中，word是不可数名词，表示“消息，信息”，前面不加不定冠词。使用'a word'会改变意思为“一个词”，导致语义错误。

I got word my friend yesterday.I got word from my friend yesterday.

当需要说明消息来源时，应该使用介词'from'引出消息提供者。直接接人称宾语是语法错误，因为'get word'后不能直接跟人，需要加'from'表示“从某人那里得到消息”。

固定短语，常接of或that从句
