Please help me with this.

Dear Sonal,
The verb to get has 4 major meanings, you can use some sentences to illustrate the various meanings:
1) to receive: I got 2 letters this morning.
2) to buy or acquire: I get my meat from the local butcher.
3) to become: he's getting older.
4)to take: I get the bus in the centre of town.
Kind regards,
Lucy
