There are several alternatives to "get's one's turn." "Get one's turn" means to wait until you have a chance to try to do something. You can say "wait his turn" or "give it a try." You could also use the expression "have a go" or "take a whack at it." All of these phrases are fine to use in this situation. Ex: She couldn't start her car so her dad decided to have a go at it. Ex: She couldn't start her car so her dad decided to give it a try. Ex: She couldn't start her car so her dad decided to take a whack at it. A: Look at the prizes for that game! B: We should have a go at it! We might win a prize! Ex: The child had to wait his turn to meet Santa Clause.
