“”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..
My pet peeve is constantly being seen.
People insecure in grammar turn “they
gave it to him and me,” into “he and I”
because ‘me,’ in their minds, might be
incorrect and besides, sounds low class.
So they use ‘I’ for both pitcher and catcher.
I wince every time I hear it, which means
I wince a lot.
