영어 구동사 표현 정리(2): take - 원어민 회화 필수 표현

우리가 영어 회화를 잘하기 위해서 필요한 것은 단순히 단어를 많이 아는 것일까요?

실질적으로 원어민들이 자주 쓰는 표현은 현란한 vocabulary들이 아니라 get, take 등 매우 기본적이고도 익숙한 단어를 활용한 구동사(Phrasal verb)들이라고 생각합니다.

이러한 표현을 자유자재로 쓸 수 있는 것이 진정한 스피킹 실력이 아닐까 해요.

그런데 너무나 다양한 의미가 있다보니, 이뜻인지 저뜻인지 헷갈리는  경우가 있더라구요.

그래서 지금까지 스픽에서 배운 표현들을 한 번 정리하고 복습하는 차원에서 동사별 구동사 표현과 뜻, 예문을 포스팅해보도록 하겠습니다.
