Activity 1. Each line of this text contains a phrasal verb with take, but some of them are used
incorrectly. If the line is incorrect, cross out the incorrect word and write the correct word.

For example:The watch was broken so I took it off to the shop. In this sentence off is incorrect, we use back instead: The watch was broken so I took it back to the shop.

I didn't really take in what she was saying at first, but once I understood, I decided to take her over on the offer.
