PowerShell not recognizing basic commands? the term 'get' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet (error)

I am trying to learn how to write PowerShell scripts, I tried just typing a basic get command such as:

get help get

and I am getting an error saying "the term 'get' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet.

Pretty much every command I tried typing in gives me a similar error,

I was wondering if someone can advise how to fix this problem?

The cmdlet is named Get-Help. Note the hyphen. In fact, all cmdlets follow that Verb-Noun structure. And always with a hyphen between both.
