“”She was brought to the hospital””

They didn’t TAKE her - they BROUGHT her? Some writers never learned.

I can remember Judge Wapner years ago asking more than one participant in his show - DID YOU BRING YOUR TV (your car etc.)TO THE SHOP?

Additionally - I can think of many other places I’d prefer for vacation - none would include the Dominican Republic or vicinity.

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?

It’s been a long time since I was taught grammar. Serious (not snarky) question —

I thought that Take was for removing a thing from something. “The tow truck took my car to the shop”.

I thought that Bring was for moving a thing towards something. “The ambulance brought her to the hospital”.

Is this incorrect?
