Lesson 1.6

Lesson 1.6

As lesson 1.6 teaches, the Spanish translation of "to sunbathe" is "tomar el sol" which is literally "to take the sun". Also "sacar fotos" translates "to take photos". So if the words "tomar" and "sacar" are synonymous, how could I know which one to use? If not, how do they differ?

They're not synonymous, you just have to know when to use which one. Tomar un café. To take a coffee (to drink it). Sacar fotos. To take fotos. Llevame al cine. Take me to the movies. Hacer un viaje. To take a trip. Aceptar un cheque. To take a check. There are more words than this that mean take, but these are just a few.
