continue take/ continue to take/ continue taking
Which of the following is/are correct?
'You may continue take the class if you have paid.'
'You may continue to take the class if you have paid'.

"Over the next five years our foreign policy engagement will continue take

No. In my opinion, the example you found through Google is either a typo or the speaker missed out a word. It should read "our foreign policy engagement will continue to take place ..." You cannot use the bare infinitive in the context you posted.
