"walk out of the car" or "get off the car" or "get out of the car"?

Question

I read lots of examples using "walk out of" for occasions of getting out of the vehicles as follows from Internet:

"I was walking around, doing nothing, when this guy walked out of the car."
"She walked out of the car and into one of the bathrooms"
"Two men walked out of the car and open the side door in the back of the limo. "
"Last week, I walked out of the car, keys in my hand,...."
"As soon as I walked out of the car and breathed in, I saw......"

However, when I looked up several dictionaries for the meaning of "walk out", all interpreted the term as "to go on strike.", "to leave in protest", "to leave a meeting, performance, etc. suddenly, especially to show your disapproval" or something alike.

My question is: is "get off" the most legitimate and formal use for the occasion of getting out of a vehicle? is "walk out of a car" somewhat slang and "modern"? or I should use "get out of" which is the most legitimate?

Prefer answers with rather profession,TKS.

believe me, if you type "walked out of the car" for google's English page searching , you'll get over one million results.

If the situation is a carriage(a passenger car of a train), will it be appropriate to say "walk out of the carriage"?

Answer 1

"Get out" is the most appropriate way to express yourself in that situation. That is because you can hardly "walk" out of a car - there is a series of actions to be done that consist of more than walking. That is why the more generic "get" is appropriate.

I should also point out that the dictionary is going to give you the definition of a common expression if you just type "walk out." For example, it can be a noun: "We staged a walk-out." That is mainly what the dictionary is referring to. It will not list every single verb-adverb combination. It does not take into account the fact that you can "walk out of a store." It is like the term "drive by." I guarantee you a dictionary is going to give you something completely different than "drive by the store."

If you're the home team at the end of the game or in extra innings and you score a go ahead run the game is over. You walk off the field and go home with out having to bat any more even if there are no outs. A game winning homerun/run could come at any point in the game with more innings yet to play. A 1st inning homerun would eventually be the game winning homerun in a 1-0 victory but you still have the whole game to play.

Answer 3

"Walk out of the car" is quite impossible. To use "walk out of" one would have to be able to stand erect in the vehicle, hence "walk out of the train" is possible, whereas car is not.

You do not "get off" a car either, unless you are sitting on it rather than in it. Again you can get off a bus or a train but not a car.

From the choices you have provided, get out of the car is the only possible answer.

Answer 4

'Walk out of a car' is a poor expression. In order to 'walk out of a car' you would first have to stand up in the car. That would be difficult even in a Hummer. If you were lying on the hood of a car, or the roof, you could 'get off the car' but again, very difficult to do if you are in the car.

Take the easy route. Use 'got out of the car' If you want to be fancy, say 'emerged from the car'

Answer 5

I got out of the car. The other passengers exited the car immediately.

" To walk out of the car" does not exist in correct English and I have never heard it used in slang form either.

Answer 6

Get out of a car..

Answer 7

Unless the car is over six feet in height (interior space, not exterior) it would be physically impossible to "walk out". There fore the only term that would be acceptable is "get out".

Answer 8

I believe you say get/ got out of the car

Eg. 'When the car pulled over, the bride got out of the car'
