PHRASAL VERBS,PHRASAL VERBS, PHRASAL VERBS!


TAKE DOWN (1)

take down = separate something into pieces and put it back in its place

examples:
  • When it started to rain, we took the tent down and returned home. That was the end to our pic nic.
  • When the school play ended, we took down all the scenery.
  • When the politician ended his speech, the technicians took the platform where he was speaking down.
  • The scaffold is a metal structure around a building being built. Workmen stand on it and build, paint, repair the building. When they finish their work, they take it down.
