Use this question to ask for agreement from a listener. People use this expression when:

• they're making a suggestion:
  

  You should ask the professor for help, don't you think?

• they want to state their opinion, but they don't feel confident enough to just directly say it
• they want the listeners to feel included in the statement
  

  Wow. I love this place. It's great, don't you think?

• they want the listener to admit that something is true:
  

  You're too old for that, don't you think?

get (adjective)

The word "get" can sometimes mean "become":

Don't get angry at me!

Oh no, it got wet!

(something) is monotonous

The word "monotonous" means "boring". Monotonous things are boring because they continue for a long time without changing. For example, a song that has the same chorus repeated 30 times without changing could be called "monotonous":

This song is so damn monotonous!

Some examples of things that you can describe as "monotonous" include:

someone's monotonous voice

a monotonous landscape

a monotonous task

(something happens) after a while

"A while" is a short or medium length of time. It can be a few minutes, hours, or days, depending on the situation.

You use the phrase "after a while" to talk about something that was the same for a while, then changed:

After a while, the deer started to get used to us and come closer.
