In the English language do NOT use the words 'get' or 'got'.

They are 'catch-all' verbs.

The English vocabulary is so large as to have a word/verb for every situation. .

Yes!!! we use 'get/got' casually in the spoken language all the time, but in the written language do NOT use the words 'get/got'.

e.g. In a restaurant a waitress may say, 'What can I get you?' More correctly it is 'What can I serve you?'

The Americans tend to use 'fix'. 'What can I fix you with?'

When purchasing goods from a shop, 'I got this item from a clothes store'.

Should read 'I purchased (or bought) this item from a clothes store'.

Hope that helps!!!!!
