DID YOU BRING YOUR TV (your car etc.)TO THE SHOP?

Well, yes I did. As a kid I also brought my books to school, brought my money to the movies, brought home my homework. Never heard of it being incorrect usage.

Is it a regional thing, IE, northeastern?

“”You ask people to bring things to the place you are, and you take things to the place you are going. As one listener named Simone put it, you bring things here and take things there.””

A good example of the proper usage but I don’t think there’s any law against it - just bad grammar..

“brought” also means “bring, right?” If you are at the movies already and speaking of your money, you did BRING it with you (I hope). If you are at home and talking about going to the movies, you are going to TAKE your money with you.

It all depends on WHERE you are when you are speaking of a particular situation. Grammar is fun but it can be overdone or a pet peeve. This happens to be one of mine..

“”I also brought my books to school, brought my money to the movies, brought home my homework.””

Or worded differently:

You are at school and you did BRING your books with you.
You are at the movies and you did BRING your money with you.
You are at home and you did BRING your homework with you.
