Get revenge or take revenge......
Is it "to get revenge (on/over/against* someone)" or "to take revenge (on/over/against* someone)"?
(*Which is the right preposition to use?)
If both are possible, do they have the same meaning?
If not, when should I use each of them?
Would you please give me some examples?
Thank you.
