Hi Andrew, I think you missed one definition of "Take off" the one that says " when a plane leaves the ground" right ?.

Sometimes I don't put in every definition as there isn't room. So I usually leave out the really uncommon ones or, in this case, the one that most people already know. Thanks for your comment.

[@mika9747]

Thank you and I wanted to ask. I have heard A Ha's song Take on me.. And all this time I've been wondering what means "Take on me". Can you explain me what does that mean because you didn't say about phrasal verb "take on"

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Haha, funny question. I know the song. It just means to accept me or include me in something. So please accept me means take me on.

[@tabishkhan9843]

Dr teacher i have a question that is not related to phrasel verb but related to ''TAKE''. what we mean when we say take tea, take coffee, and take +food take meal, take pitza. in which sense we use it by ''take tea'' we mean to grab tea or drink tea... is there any rule for this and is take pitza makes a sense.thanks

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Take tea and take coffee both sound British to me, though I'm not completely certain. The other three don't really make sense to me. Take OUT some food or pizza would mean to take it home from a restaurant rather than eat it there. Or take some pizza WITH me would mean to bring it with me. But alone it is poor and unnatural English.

[@tabishkhan9843]

Dr teacher you are absolutely right before i was little bit confuse but now from your explaination i got a clue. According to what i have learnt if we talk about TAKE Actually we dont TAKE A COFFEE unless there are bunches of coffees and you go over and actually physically take the coffee. And when we talk about going somewhere for coffee we dont use verb take like TAKE A COFFEE. But instead to make it more emphatic i mean better we will say HAVE A COFFEE. OR GET A COFFEE. and i think get a coffee sounds more natural though have a coffee is ok too. We can also say. SIP A COFFEE ALSO DRINK A COFFEE but it is very strange. Also Dr teacher as TAKE A COFFEE is a collocation i think its not a good combination of Verb+Noun in driniking sense. It is like pickle + honey combination .lol Same story for take pitza. GET A COFFEE is like Cherry + honey. Which is a good combination. Dr techer one thing i explained just to clear myself not to teach you. So pls guide and pls correct my mistakes. Thanks teacher.

Sir "take to" it means to start something as a habit or start enjoying something or like someone so can i say I never take to cooking. Is it correct?

[@MrFmuniz]

great video.. I did not like this shirt.. So I wanna take it back to the store... I wanna take back the shirt... Are they correct?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, both are correct. The phrasal verb 'take back' can be separated (take something back) or not (take back something). Just remember that when you use a pronoun (it, them, him...) you should put it in the middle (take it back), and not after (take back it

[@ZOTANx]

This rule about (it, them, him..) putting them in the middle, does it work for all phrasal verbs?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, it is generally true for all phrasal verbs that are separable. Some phrasal verbs like get off, drop out, look into and so on are NOT separable and so therefore this would not be true for those ones.
