Get (the) breakfast/ supper? What does it mean by saying "someone gets the breakfast"? I saw "getting supper" out of another context. Does it mean the same thing? Thanks a lot!

What Tanya and Simsalabeam have said is mostly correct. However, it is not common to say "get the breakfast/lunch/dinner." Usually it is just "get breakfast/lunch/supper," without the "the." The only time "the" would commonly be used is if you're referring to a meal in a package or container and you're going to physically pick it up and move it.

Someone gets the breakfast. Usually it is a parent who gets it from the kitchen and gives it to the children at the table. Supper is a different meal (supper vs tea vs dinner), but someone will get it (collect it) from the kitchen and put it on the dining table.

I think it should be "Someone gets the breakfast!" it is an imperative sentence, ask someone todo something. as for breakfast VS supper, breakfast for morning while Supper for evening.

It's a little ambiguous. Either can mean getting/buying the food for the meal, making/cooking the food or going out to eat in a restaurant Any of these 3 meanings are possible.
