My confusion
take and got... What function do they have:1) You don't take any exercise
2) Idon't take exercise
3) I don't take energetic activities
4) No but, i've got some tea
5) I haven't got any milk
6) I've got a big problem
1 and 2) People sometimes say take exercise to mean 'do' exercise, like 'take a walk,' but less common than using 'do' or 'get some'' exercise, or just exercise.
3) with activites usually 'do' is used, but just like 'taking' a class, you could take an energetic activity class
4-6)'have got' is common spoken English meaning the same as 'have'.

To answer your question:
1) I 'do' an activity, e.g. exercise
2) 'Get' and 'take' are very similar and it depends on what you are trying to say.
Further examples are:
I took the keys off his hand
I take 5 sugars with my tea
I am taking an English class
I got home very early
I got a promotion at work!
I am getting off at the next station.
'get got; is overused and unnecessary
