It's Mistake Monday again! Today's error is surprisingly common, but fortunately it's also easy to fix. Let's take a look:
Common Error: Bring vs. Take | ||
DON’T say this: | ||
WHY? | -Take means to move something away from where you are now. Remember the phrase "take this away from me." -Bring means to move something from a different place to where you are now. Use the phrase "bring that to me" to help you remember. | |
INSTEAD, SAY THIS: | -"Thank you very much for bringing me here." (After someone gives you a ride, for example). -"If you're going downtown, can you take me to the bus stop?" |
Easy, right? I hope you can all take the tips in today's common error and use them to improve your English.

This one is so hard to get right mostly because we often don't realize there's any difference between them at all. You said it concisely, though--I may share this link.
