Pronunciation

Collocations with Bring and Take 
"One reason some people are confused about "bring" and "take" is that there are many exceptions to the basic rules. For example, idioms such as "bring someone down a peg" and "take a bath" and phrasal verbs such as "bring up," "bring about," "take down," and "take after" don't comply with the rule that "bring" means to cause something to come to the speaker and "take" means to cause something to go away from the speaker." - See more at: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/bring-versus-take?page=1#sthash.2t7EtX9N.dpuf
