Hej
Siger man: "The black people´s working conditions got/became horrible, and their salaries got/became low?"

Jeg ville sige "became".
Generelt skal man passe på med ikke at overforbruge "got". Det kan bruge i næsten alle sammenhænge, men den lyder "billig".
Er det en "sætte ord ind" øvelse? For jeg ville nok også sætte sætningen anderledes, også så man undgår at bruge det samme ord 2 gange i én sætning...
"The black people's working condition became horrible, and their salaries were lowered" eller "The working conditions for the black people turned horrible and their salaries lowered" eller en hver kombination af de 2...

*turned
Men ja, det kan du godt sige :) Og lowered er et rigtigt ord, det er bare en verbum-form af "low". Den kan nok oversættes med sænket.

Get and become = used to describe processes of change
we prefer BECOME rather than get to talk about more abstract technical process of change with words such as adapted, apparent, aware, convinced, infected, irrelevant, obvious and recognised.
We use BECOME, not get , if there is a noun phrase after the linking verb.
- she became a good tennis player.
We use GET rather than become in informal speech and writing before words such as difficult, ill, interested, pregnant, suspicious, unhappy, and worried; in imperatives and in phrases such as get changed(clothes), get dressed, get married/ divorced.
