English thanks for joining me in another video and if you're new here hey
please consider subscribing every week I post different kinds of videos to
help people from all over the world improve their English skills but let's
get down to business today I'm going to show you seven
expressions with the verb take so here we go number one take your time what is to
take your time you usually say this to someone for example a person is doing
something before you go to a party and you don't want this person to do it
fast you know in a rush so you say hey take your time okay don't worry we have
plenty of time to go to the party so you tell this person to take his or her time
so it's a very common expression okay the second expression is take a look at
you know take a look at basically means look at but look at is a verb look is a
verb now in this situation take a look look here is not a verb it's a noun okay
so for example I'm reading a newspaper and I see something funny and then I tell
my friend hey take a look at this take a look okay so I use this expression take
a look at this I've used this expression a lot in my videos take a look at some
examples take a look at this at this example below if you pay attention to

good stuff too! the next one is to take a nap okay what is a nap, a nap is a
short a quick sleep, you know, a nap for 20 30 minutes max in the afternoon
during the day so you are very tired after lunch so you decided to take a nap
to sleep for 20 30 minutes now one hour is not really a nap anymore okay so take
a nap is really means to to sleep for a short a very short period of time
I love taking naps how about you do you like to take naps let me know in the
comments expression number four to take part in to take part in is to
participate in something to be part of something okay so I take part in a sports
team in my neighborhood okay I took part in competition last year and I won! how
about you tell me something you take part in okay number six (well five) to take care of what
is to take care of to take care of basically means you are responsible for
someone okay so I took care in the past I took care of my sister when she was a
baby okay so my mom was cleaning the house
while I took care while I was responsible for my baby sister so that
basically means you care for someone or it can also mean you're responsible for
something okay number six is very similar to number
five but it's only take care it's not take care of take care only means
bye-bye
yes take care so basically we're saying goodbye to someone and then you can say
hey bye, take care teacher, what's the translation of take care? in this case
bye and number seven take a advantage of something or someone and in
this case there are two possible meanings for take advantage of someone
or something I'll show you check it out when you take advantage of something or
a situation in a good way you make use of an opportunity you make use of
something ok it'll benefit you but you are not doing this in a negative way you
are not exploiting anyone it's good so I love taking advantage of the hotel
facilities when I am on vacation so I take full advantage I take advantage of
everything they have to offer because I'm paying for that how about you so in
this case it's not a bad idea you take advantage because you're paying
for it so you want to make sure you enjoy you want to make sure you make use
of everything you paid for that's a good way to use take advantage of
something in a good way now the second possibility it's a bit more negative
okay you are exploiting someone or something you are negatively taking
