Get VS take

[Polyester]

If someone finds that the coins on the street, he/she takes it up or he/she gets it up.

Are they same meaning?

Simplify the sentence:
1- Take out "that the".
2- Use the verb "pick up".

If someone finds [STRIKE]that the coins[/STRIKE] a coin on the street, he/she "takes it up" or [STRIKE]he/she[/STRIKE] "gets it up".

[STRIKE]Are[/STRIKE] Do they have the same meaning?

Please note my corrections above. You are still making very basic mistakes. Can you explain why you chose to write "If someone finds that the coins".

Please show us where you found that "take up" and "get up" were the verbs you were looking for.

If someone finds that the coins....sound is okay for me and natural. Why is it wrong?


I revised my sentences again.

If someone finds the coins on the street, he/she will pick it up.

You're still not quite there. Which coins are you talking about?
Also note that 'coins' is plural and 'it' is singular.

 

[emsr2d2]

After "find", just use the noun.

I found a coin.
If someone finds a coin, ...
Did you find some coins?

 

[Polyester]

I try again.
If someone finds a coin on the street, they will pick them up.

I try again.
If someone finds a coin on the street, they will pick them up.

"A coin" = one coin.
"Them" = more than one thing.

 

[emsr2d2]

Also note that 'coins' is plural and 'it' is singular.

"A coin" = one coin.
"Them" = more than one thing.

Polyester, you've now been told the same thing in two different ways. Please try a third time and be really careful with noun/pronoun agreement.

My final try,
If someone finds a coin on the street, they will pick it up.

My final try:
If someone finds a coin on the street, they will pick it up.

That's correct.
