Hey, we had 'take' before as well! We're getting more words then!

I know these:

take a rest
take someone's place

take "someone" with a grain of salt

take "something" for granted

Take it from me. I know what I'm talking about.

take "someone" or "something" seriously

Take my word for it.

take "someone's" word for it

I haven't heard "take someone's opinion". I've only heard "take someone's advice".
