thing i need to tell you is that there are many different uses okay for these two verbs in english get and take and not just a specific uses but also specific expressions okay that's why this is part

verbs get and take and i want to make this video as short as possible so that you learn something new and go about your day in general we are going to use uh the verb take with a more active action okay when the subject is taking action while in many cases the verb get will show a more passive action receiving action while take is well a more active action for example i take my medicines every morning okay so here i take my medicine i consume my medicine in the morning now an example with get that shows the idea of receiving you know a more passive action i get my paycheck i always get my paycheck at the end of the month well when do you get your paycheck at the beginning of the month in the middle of the month or at the end of the month let me know here in the comments you know so here when i say i always get my paycheck at the end of the month i'm saying well i always receive from someone okay well you get your paycheck from somebody from your boss from the company you work for so here that's a very important difference between these guys of course that there are specific expressions that will change this okay but now let's focus on specific meanings with the verb get
