What is the opposite of take out?
|
|
My son was was solving a crossword yesterday and asked me this question and I didn�t know the answer. The crossword puzzle comes from https://bogglesworldesl.com/opposite_verbs.htm and there is no answer key. This is the screenshot from the site. Thank you in advance, E. |

Hi TeacherARG, Nice to see you on ESLP. I guess you didn�t do the crossword, did you? IMHO, "bring in" is not the answer.
I did the crossword and I suppose that there is a mistake. Having in mind the letters we get from other words, I could come up only with “put away” which doesn’t sound correct at all.:( |

If you take something out of a box, then put it back in is the opposite. If you take something out of, say, a cupboard, or a wardrobe, etc, then afterwards, you put it away. So put away is the right answer.
Edit: an example from school: take your books out, put your books away.

Kohai, I just checked there were 7 letters! My bad. SORRY Ewelina! I�ve been around for almost 3 years! |

@ TeacherARG, Of course, you have been on ESLP for some years, the same as on Liveworksheets! Just the latter has benefited from your presence far more.
P.S. "Bring in" also has got 7 letters, hasn�t it?  |

Yes, and bring in is certainly a valid opposite of take out. I would give some examples but people have probably moved on from this now.   |

Do you want to dine in, or would you prefer take out? |
