Make measurements; post

Hi,

1) “We have to carry out/make/take measurements of the exhibition space before the start of the event.”

Which one is most appropriate?

2) Do you ‘post something to’ or ‘on a fb group’? I found both options, but I’d probably pick the latter.

3) I know that you can ‘go on sick leave’, but I was wondering if ‘get or be put on sick leave’ also work.

Thank you.

1) "Take" is what you'd usually hear, but all three are possible. 2) Both are possible. 3) "Go on sick leave" would mean you took sick leave on your own volition.
