TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid. You can never learn enough idioms, it seems, because they are everywhere. So this is a lesson about idioms with the word "take". Let's go.
Number one: "When did the accident take place?" So, what do you think that means?
"When did the accident take place?" means: When did the accident happen? Okay? When did it happen? When did it take place? Good.
Number two: "Please take your time." What do you think that means?
"Take your time" means don't rush. Don't be in a hurry.
Number three: "It takes forever to load these files.",
"It takes forever to load these files." what do you think that means?
It means it takes a very long time, because forever is a really long time. So, this idiom means it takes a very long time.
Next, number four: "The painkillers should take effect soon. The painkillers should take effect soon."
what does that mean?
That the painkillers, the medicine should start working soon. Okay? Should have an influence or an impact soon.
Let's review. "When did the accident take place?" means: When did the accident happen? "Take your time." Don't rush. "It takes forever." It takes a long time. And: "The painkillers should take effect" means that the painkillers should start working soon. Good.
Number five: "Don't take sides without understanding the issues.",
"Don't take sides", it means don't support this party, or this person, or this group, or that group without understanding the issues. Don't support one side or the other. Okay? That's what it means to take sides, to prefer and support one side.
Number six: "See you! Take care!"
You hear this expression a lot, right? People use it. Native speakers use it all the time. "Take care", they use it in writing, they use it in speaking. So, what does that mean: "Take care"?
It just means: "Hey, look after yourself. Be well. Be..." You know? That's it. Nothing very serious, but: "Take care. Look after yourself." Okay?
Number seven: "Did you take note of how she looked at me? Did you take note of how she looked at me?",
"Take note of" means: Did you notice? Did you realize? Okay? Did you pay attention to...? Okay? Good.
Number eight: "You need to take charge of your life." Okay?
What does it mean to take charge of something?
To take charge of something means to get in control of something. So, "take charge" means to get in control.
Let's review again. Number five: "Don't take sides" means don't prefer or support one side or the other. "Take care" means look after yourself. "Take note of something" means to pay attention to something, or realize, or understand. And "to take charge of something" means, what? Do you remember? It means to get in control. Okay?
Let's go really quickly. "When did it take place?" When did it happen?
"Take your time", don't rush.
"It takes forever", it takes a long time.
"When will it take effect?" When will it start to work?
"Don't take sides", don't prefer one side or the other.
"Take care!" Look after yourself.
"Take note of something", pay attention to this.
And "take charge of something", be in control of it.
All right?

Please increase class time.

I hate the words take care when parting . Why ? because the majority of the time yourself when you use it or a person who uses it towards you won't be there for you when you need someone to talk to, are depressed, in need, etc. it means take care because i surely won't help(like in shifts with others who say take care) take care of you when you are in need. we use it so loosely and should not. it's like saying take care because i won't give a flying fuck. It's far more honest to say in parting or saying good bye: good day, or by, maybe i'll see you around, good evening, good night. and i hate have a nice day too.
Take care of yourself not take care of you
Dear Madam, can you please tell me the name of this!?, you used after take care
Take it off . Also belongs to these?
It takes forever to master English. So you will master English if you have a chance to live abroad.

Hi Rebecca, where are you from? You look like Mexican.

Sorry, Rebecca.
