When you take something, it’s like when you pick up a toy from the floor and hold it in your hand. You’re moving it from one place to another. Imagine a bird picking up a twig for its nest. The bird is taking the twig to build something special.
Taking can also mean choosing something you like, like when you pick a cookie from a cookie jar. You look at all the cookies and decide which one you want the most. It’s like when you pick your favorite crayon from a box to draw a picture.
Sometimes, taking means borrowing something for a little while. If you take a book from the library, you get to read it and then give it back later. It’s like sharing a toy with a friend; you play with it for a bit and then let them have a turn.
Taking can also mean receiving something someone gives you, like when a friend hands you a gift. You take it with a smile and say thank you. It’s like catching a ball someone throws to you in a game.
