Find words related to T A K E

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym) related to the words

– T A K E (sustantivo, verbo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word. For example phrasal verbs of which there are many.

Examples:

It’s your turn to take the dog for a walk.

Te toca a ti sacar a pasear al perro.

Do you take me for a fool?

¿Me tomas por imbécil?

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English ?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me.

This was the previous challenge.
