Hi,

I made a shower. -- Sounds like you built a shower. ~ You made a shower by yourself.

I got a shower. -- Sounds like a shower was given to you. ~ You obtained a shower.

I took a shower. -- Sounds like you showered. ~ You had a shower.

The first two have a literal meaning; the third *most likely has an idiomatic meaning.

*It is technically possible

The pronoun "I" is always capitalized.

If you mean that you stood under a spray of water and cleaned yourself, "I took a shower" is the only one of those three that is English.

Hi, thank you for ur kind,specific answer.
by the way, I got another question about your answer.

"It is technically possible for the sentence "I took a shower" to have a literal meaning: I carried a shower."
What 's "I carried a shower" mean ? I couldn't understand it though i found it with dictionary.
Would you please explain more?
