If we use your home as the example of place. Take a book = take a book from here and take it home. Bring a book = take a book from your home and bring it here.

Hi,

I need help about the difference between "take" and "bring" in the sense of lifting and carrying.

Here's the broad and basic idea.

'Bring' suggests 'into proximity to the speaker'.

'Take' suggests 'away from the speaker'.



Example 1.

Tom is not in the office.

Mary says to Tom, 'Please bring the report to the office'.
