Difference between receive and take

Dear teachers,


She dint receive/ my call. Is this sentence wrong. Can you tell me when should we use receive.


Thank you,

Shravan.

"She didn't receive my call" makes me think that there was, perhaps, a technical glitch and your call did not reach the telephone of the intended recipient. "She didn't take my call" says to me that the person was informed of an incoming call from you, and that she made a conscious decision not to talk to you.
