Bring vs. Take
Bring vs. Take

In “bring” something of somebody is moved to where the speaker is currently situated. “Take” is used to indicate moving something or somebody to a place that the speaker is not currently at.

We ask people to bring things to the place where we are. Bring is used in relation to a destination:
// "Bring some food to the party at my house."
// "Bring your homework to me"

We take things to the place we are going to. We take them from the place where we are to another place. Take is used in relation to a starting point.
// "I'm going to take some cake to Paul's house for his birthday party."
// "Take your dog away from me."

// I took the newspaper to my father

bring: carry something towards the speaker

take: carry something away from the speaker OR to another place
