TAKE (medicine) (薬を)飲む

HOME>Word Master®>TAKE (medicine) (薬を)飲む

Thank God it's Friday! (It's fun to say that once in a while.) We hope it's been a great week for you. Ours couldn't have been better, thanks to you.

Enjoy this pre-weekend WordMaster edition!


To take medicine means to put it into your mouth and swallow. 

(Be careful: Although in Japanese we say 薬を飲む, in English we usually do NOT say "DRINK medicine".) 

薬を飲むと言いたいとき、takeという動詞を使います。

注意: 日本語では薬を「飲む」と言いますが、英語では普通、DRINK medicineとは言いません。

1.a:I've got a terrible headache!
b:Why don't you take some aspirin and go to bed?
  
2.Take this medicine three times a day with meals.
  
3.You shouldn't take cold medicine if you're going to drive later.
Make it a weekend to remember!
