TAKE vs. GET. That should be "take a seat" on the left. And in American English "make a decision" is much more common than "take a decision."
How to Use: Take vs Get

Hi Gérard, everyone
Here are a few expressions meaning the same : Before the ink is dry
At the top of a hat
Before you know it
In the blink of an eye
In leaps and bounds
Do you know them all ?
