Bring vs Take - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

This video focuses on the difference between the usage of "bring" and "take". These two words often cause confusion, especailly for English learners. It is important to consider the direction in order to determine which word to use. The word "bring" describes the movement of something toward a specified location, such as in this sentence: Can you bring some snacks to the party tonight? The word "take" on the other hand generally describes the movement of something away from a location, such as here: Do you want to take any leftovers home? As you can see, it's quite easy to determine the correct word to use in a sentence when considering the direction you are referring to.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

in this unit I've learned all about present tenses, including present simple, present continuous, present perfect and even present perfect continuous. I've learned the rules on how to use each tense and what specializes them. For example, present simple uses the verb in its original form, and present perfect talks about an action that has been completed.This was a quick unit with very practical questions and answers. We will always encounter problems and trouble as we teach a class full of students. I appreciated that this unit was divided into very clear categories for later reference. It also seemed filled with logical solutions that should be easy to remember when faced with any of these problems.
