2.6. The preterit and travel - Mistake?

Question

While explaining difference between tomé and tome Paralee says that tome means he/she takes which I believe is not true, as tomar is -ar verb (so he/she takes will be toma). In other hand tome can mean command take!

Am I right or did I understand smth wrong?

Answer 1

If you have seen Paralee's solicitation for errors in the movie then you know that she asks for time stamps for the errors. It's very time consuming to have to scan the entire video to locate an error.

If you wish to report this error to her, please include the video time stamp.

07:54

If my memory serves me correctly, she may already have this error, but it never hurts to send it again.

Answer 2

You are right, "tome un taxi" is not "he/she takes a taxi" (that would be "toma un taxi"), but "(please) take a taxi".

Answer 3
