What does BRING mean in Scrabble?
verb
To carry or take something or someone along to a place, or to cause something to happen.
Bring always implies motion toward the speaker or toward wherever the sentence is centered, which is exactly what separates it from take: you bring something here and take something there. Its irregular past tense, brought, has stayed the same for centuries while regular verbs around it kept shifting. The extended sense, to bring about a result, drops the physical motion entirely and keeps only the idea of causing something to arrive.
How BRING is used
Irregular: bring, brought, brought. Contrasts with take, which points away from the speaker rather than toward.
- Please bring your notes to the meeting on Friday.
- The storm is expected to bring heavy rain overnight.
- He always tries to bring something for the host.
- Nothing could bring the two sides to agree that afternoon.
