Here's why it's correct:
* "Had gotten" is the past perfect tense of "to get". It's used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past.
* "Done" can be used as a past participle of the verb "to do", and in this context, it functions as an adjective describing the state of something.
However, the combination of "had gotten" and "done" can sound clunky. It's often better to rephrase using simpler, more direct language.
Here are some alternative ways to say it, depending on the intended meaning:
* "Was finished": This is the most common and direct way to express the completion of an action.
* "Was completed": This is a slightly more formal alternative.
* "Had been done": This is also grammatically correct, but it's more formal and less commonly used.
Example:
* Instead of: "The project had gotten done by Friday."
* Try: "The project was finished by Friday."
