take

When you go somewhere, you "take" things or people with you:

I took my kids to school this morning. (past tense)

She'll take a sweater to the park in case it gets cold later. (future tense)

Do you take your cell phone with you when you leave the house? (present tense)

"Take" is also used for medicine:

Is he taking anything for his headache? (present continuous tense)

Don't take medicine that is expired. (present tense, negative command)

And it's used for photography:

This new digital camera takes great pictures. (present tense)

You should take a lot of pictures of your children when they're little. (modal verb--should)
