take
The word "take" is one of the most common verbs in English and has many different meanings depending on the context. When talking about time or effort, we usually use it in a general sense (e.g., "It takes time") rather than referring to a specific person. Be careful not to confuse "take" with "bring." Generally, you "take" something away from your current location and "bring" something toward the speaker's location.
