English Synonyms and Antonyms0.0 / 0 votes

  1. take

    The distinctive idea of assume is to take by one's own independent volition, whether well or ill, rightfully or wrongfully. One may accept an obligation or assume an authority that properly belongs to him, or he may assume an obligation or indebtedness that could not be required of him. He may assume authority or office that is his right; if he assumes what does not belong to him, he is said to arrogate or usurp it. A man may usurp the substance of power in the most unpretending way; what he arrogates to himself he assumes with a haughty and overbearing manner. One assumes the robes or insignia of office by putting them on, with or without right. If he takes to himself the credit and appearance of qualities he does not possess, he is said to affect or feign, or to pretend to, the character he thus assumes. What a debater postulates he openly states and takes for granted without proof; what he assumes he may take for granted without mention. A favorite trick of the sophist is quietly to assume as true what would at once be challenged if expressly stated. What a man claims he asserts his right to take; what he assumes he takes.

    Synonyms:
    accept, affect, appropriate, arrogate, assume, claim, feign, postulate, presume, pretend, put on, usurp

How to use take in a sentence?

  1. Max Schoening:

    We hope that the government and the attorney general's office will take all the necessary measures to ensure that these cases are fully investigated.

  2. Samuel Pepys:

    The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and, out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it.

  3. Nancy Pelosi:

    We have a responsibility to protect our borders. All of our borders. Let’s make no mistake about that. Democrats have been strong on that point. All of our borders, in fact, I said to some of you before, when we had the 9/11 incident and the commission was formed — and they made their recommendations — they made recommendations to protect America, but the Republicans would never take them up. And some of it was about our borders. The Republicans would never take them up.

  4. Aaron Peña:

    The attack on the Border Patrol is significant and very personal to me because I have relatives and friends at the Border Patrol, most of them are Hispanic, you know, or people from the border. They're our friends or our neighbors, our cousins or relatives, and the attacks on them hit us personally. We take it personal because they're simply trying to do their job. And they’re not getting any support from the current administration.

  5. Robert Isom:

    Every worker at Elmhurst has seen and experienced challenges many of us can not imagine. They've given so much of themselves and chose to serve their community with care, compassion and equity for every patient, when they are able to take a break, we hope the time away will help them and their loved ones recharge and that they feel our deepest appreciation for their sacrifice and heroism.
