after to take after normally you take after a person someone in your family who is older than you and it means that you have similarities to that person perhaps in your personality in the way you look in the way that you behave in the way that you speak for example I could say I take after my mum in terms of my looks or I take after my grandma I love languages and sometimes I wonder if my baby will take after me who do you take after number three take out take out normally you take a person out now typically this is used when talking about taking someone on a date a romantic date but it can be used to talk about just accompanying someone out for the day I could take my mother out for example if she came to visit me in London I would take her out for the day and it literally does means I'm going to accompany her escort her out to a restaurant or out to the park or whatever it is we've got planned so yesterday I took my mother out to the theme park I remember the first time my boyfriend took me out it was so romantic number four take in take in has a number of meanings firstly it can mean to absorb information so if you've been given some information that is difficult to understand perhaps it's shocking in some way perhaps it makes you feel emotional you might need some time to absorb it to take it in so if I have given you some bad news and you're obviously upset then I might say I give you some time to take it all in or I might say to you at the end of a business meeting hmm that was a wonderful presentation but I need a few days to take it in take in can also mean to accept somebody into your home to stay for example if you were desperate for a place to stay you have nowhere to go you have hungry cold I would say to you hey don't suffer I'll take you in come into my home I'll feed you I'll give you a place to stay for a few nights make yourself comfortable on this very old couch therefore I have taken you in have you ever taken anyone in taking is also what you do to your clothing if it's too big so I might say I need to take this dress in it's too big for me and it's literally where you take some clothing you fold it over usually on a join and you stitch it to make it smaller and tighter you take it in now that's only at the sides in fact if you are taking the legs of your trousers up then we say take up I need to take them up finally take in can mean to deceive or to fool someone so if someone phones me up and lies to me and fools me pretends to be my bank manager and I give them all my personal details and my bank details then you could say Anna was completely taken in by the man on the phone I was deceived I was fooled have you ever been taken in by someone trying to scam you I hope not number 5 take away take away now we often use this phrase when referring to food that is prepared in a restaurant and then taken home to eat so if I'm hungry and I cannot be bothered to cook which doesn't happen often then our phone my local takeaway restaurant and say hello I'd like to order a Thai green curry please and they'd say fine we'd sort out the payments the delivery and it would be delivered to my door or I would go and pick it up and that food would be called a takeaway so you could say last night I had a takeaway it was delicious when was the last time you had a takeaway number 6 take over now to take over have you ever been accused of taking over I certainly have especially as a child to take over means to take control you yes I am a control freak and I often take over so imagine I am running a company and I decide I want to take some time off to look after my baby and you come in and say it Anna I will take over your responsibilities I will run the business while you are away therefore you are taking over my position you are taking over my company you took over last week I hope it's going well number seven take up take up now we came across this one earlier you would take up your trousers if they are a little bit too long but take up also has many other more common uses for example if you begin a new hobby or a sport perhaps then you would be taking up a hobby or taking up a sport so a few years ago I took up gymnastics I started gymnastics a few years before that I took up playing squash so that was a new hobby sport that I took on my mum when she hit 50 took up flower arranging have you recently taken up a hobby we also use take up when we mean to accept an offer so for example if you offer to take me out for a day out in your country and show me the sights and show me the best places to eat then I might take you up take you up on your offer then later I would say last year when I visited this country I took my friend up on their offer to show me around I took my friend up on their offer so have you ever taken anyone up on their offer and finally take up can also mean to fill a space so at the moment because I'm so large and I get very uncomfortable when I sit on this couch with my partner he says that I take up most of the room because I spread out I take up most of the space I fill the space number eight take on to take on means to accept responsibility or additional commitment usually we use this when talking about work so if you work as a contractor and you have many contracts then you could say I think I've taken on too many contracts or I can't take on any more work I can't accept any more commitment or responsibilities as a teacher at the moment I am not taking on any new students because of course I have something else to deal with in the very near future but after the baby is born I may be taking on new students number nine take off take off is a phrasal verb we use when talking about planes or rockets or anything that leaves the ground so it means to leave the ground to fly so a bird takes off a plane takes off the rocket will launch or take off you might also hear take off being used when talking about a company or a brand if a brand takes off then it means it suddenly become very popular I could even say my video or my course has taken off it's become very very popular very quickly almost like a plane flying into the sky finally take off can be used to mean leave suddenly so if I in the middle of a conversation grab my bag and run off then you could say what's wrong with Alice she just took off is she okay number ten take back to take something back is to retrieve something that you had once given away so if I give you a flower they here have a sunflower just for you and then I decide actually I want the sunflower for myself and I might take back the sunflower of course it would be very rude to take back a gift but you know sometimes it happens take back can also be used when you've done something or said something wrong or something you regret and you wish that you could rewind and undo it but you can't so you say I wish I could take it back or I take back everything I said it's just the way of expressing that you regret what's happened or you regret what you've said so if I say something completely unethical or completely out of character that offends lots of people then I would say I sincerely apologize I take it all back I take back what I said I didn't mean to offend anybody and a special little bonus number eleven take apart ah yes to take apart similar to take down this phrasal verb means to dismantle but more specifically it really means to pull something to pieces so you take it apart for example if I am a mechanic and I want to build a car then I might have to take apart another car so I dismantle it so I could find all the bits and parts that I need to build the new car so I take apart that old car that doesn't work and I build a new car exciting well guys I hope you found that
