Dear Adeee ,

You have written both the sentences in the imperative mood.

I think both the sentences are equally correct and have the same meaning.

does your teacher mean "take tea" might mean "take a cup of tea in your hand and never drink it?"

No its mean drink tea.

Debpriya De · Answer

The difference between " drink" and "take" in the present context is probably that "take" is generally used when we are talking about consuming a medicine or a drug on a regular basis as in

"Take this medicine three times a day" whereas "drink" is used for general purposes.

Thanks its a good reason..

Clive · Answer

Hi,

Is this is correct.

Adeee take tea.

or

Adeee Drink tea. which is right. Neither is correct.

If you want to give Adee an order, write it this way.

Adee, take tea. or Adee, drink tea.

If you want to state a fact, write it this way.

Adee takes tea. or Adee drinks tea.

And whats the diffrence between them. The only difference is that the verb 'drink' is the common way of saying it. The verb 'take' here is very old-fashioned.

Best wishes, Clive
