To take

While this verb often corresponds to the French prendre, you need to watch out for a plethora of 

connotations, metaphorical and literal, without French parallels. Because to take is more versatile 

than prendre, it is imperative to avoid literal translations. For example:

Bus number 12 will take you to the airport.

should not be translated as:



XLe bus 12 vous prendra vers l’aéroport.

for that is not a French sentence. The correct sentence is:



Le bus 12 vous conduira à l’aéroport.

Similarly, we may take a trip, but being allergic to the idea of 



X

prendre un voyage, a French 

person will say: Je vais faire un voyage. Here are some other examples:

I took his hand. 

J’ai pris sa main.

Marie-Lys a pris sa fille par la main.

Martin took the baby into his arms. 



Martin a pris le bébé dans ses bras.

Le détective a relevé son nom et son adresse.

The soldiers took the town in a
