Which sentence should be preferred?
I'm little confused.
Which one's grammatically correct?/sound correct?
"I've no obligation to get involve in the situation"
or
"I've no obligation to get involved in the situation"
Thanks.
PS. I think that 1st one sounds good.

The verb 'to involve' in that sentence functions as an adjective. That is why it should take the form of a participle, which is involved.
