We use GET as the action verb in sentences instead of verbs such us become, have, obtain, receive, strong need and arrive.

Examples:
We better go before it gets dark .(become)
I got today's paper, would you like to read it? (obtain)
I get may e-mails from my friends. (receive)
I have to get there by eight tonight. (arrive)
I've got some shampoo you can use.(have)
