Someone Took My Wallet

By Nate Feldman

It is a normal day at the police station. Officer Richards is sitting behind his desk. He is having a cup of coffee and taking it easy. Suddenly, a man comes into the station. He is distressed.
“Officer,” he says. “Someone took my wallet.”
“OK,” the officer says. “Where did this happen?”
“I was taking the train to work,” the man says. “When I got off the train, my wallet wasn’t there. Someone took it.”
“OK,” says officer Richards. “Are you sure someone took it? Maybe it fell out.”
“No, there was a man taking the train with me. He ran into me. He put his hands on me and said he was sorry. I think he took the wallet then.”
“OK,” replies officer Richards. “Did you take a picture of him with your phone or something?”
“No, unfortunately not,” answers the man.
“This case may take time to solve then,” says officer Richards.

    Just a short conversation, the verb "Take" has been used with different meanings in the different types of situations. This is a pretty effective way to remember how to use the verb "Take". Thank you.
