Tricky English Made Easy:  BRING-TAKE-CARRY / FETCH-GET – Susan’s Student Tips

15/3/2016

Tricky English Made Easy is a series to help students clarify concepts which are often difficult for learners of English. 
 
The use of BRING-TAKE-CARRY / FETCH-GET is problematic for students since, in many cases, the same verb for the different concepts can be used in other languages.
 
CARRY is the easiest of all to explain since it involves TRANSPORTING WITH YOUR ARMS.
 
The other verbs are best explained in the picture above (to download) in which I tried to make an explanatory diagram and in this excellent video by Vicki Hollett Simple English Videos:
 
Come, Go, Bring, Take, Fetch, Get: Learn English with Simple English Videos

You can download the picture below. 
 
I hope you find this diagram as useful.

The walk inside is long and may not be suitable for older or disabled people. However, it offers a breath taking panoramic view from the top!

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
