BRING/brɪŋ/

Direction matters in English: bring means come here with something (bring your book to class), while take means go there with it (take this bag to Mum). Learners often swap them. Please bring… is a polite classroom request, and the past is brought, not “bringed.”

Meaning

To take something or someone with you to a place.

Examples

• “Please bring your book tomorrow.”
• “Can you bring some water?”
• “He brought fruit for everyone.”

Good to know

bring = to here. take = to there. Past: brought.
