take some money

Can I say,

Last Sunday was a sunny day. In the afternoon, Susan was walking alone in the town. The town was quiet. She wanted to go to the bank to take some money. After taking the money, she had to go to the supermarket.

Hello Vincent, Not quite: you take out some money, when you go to the bank. A minor quibble: it would probably be more usual (in BrE, at least) to say "go to the cashpoint", in the context of cash withdrawal (especially as it takes place on a Sunday). Best wishes, MrP

So, the correct way is:

Last Sunday was a sunny day. In the afternoon, Susan was walking alone in the town. The town was quiet. She wanted to go to the bank to take out some money. After taking the money, she had to go to the supermarket.

So, others are correct?

Don't forget to change the second "take" to "take out"!

Otherwise, it looks fine.

Best wishes,
