meanings:
1.to get into one's hold or possession by voluntary action to take a pen and begin to write. ;
2. To seize or capture:
to take an enemy town; to take a prisoner.
3. An opinion or assessment:
What's your take on the candidate?
You should guess the meaning from the context. You must
have noticed it while translating different sentences. The
bright example of polysemantic word is the noun leg. So
lets study its meaning solving the following exercise:
The noun leg has several meanings:
1) one of the long parts of your body that your feet are
joined to;
2)one of the series of games in a football competition
played between two teams;
3) one of the upright parts that support a piece of furniture;
4) the part of your trousers that covers your leg;
5) one part of a long journey or race.
Match the meanings of the word face with the sentences
given below:
1) One of the legs on the table was a bit wobbly.
2) Here, pull up your pant legs and let me see if your knees
are hurt.
3) The legs of my jeans were covered in mud.
4) Leeds will have to win the second leg if they are to go
forward to the finals.
