Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently.
Today, let’s look at a really useful everyday phrase - “take turns.”
We use take turns when two or more people do something one after another, instead of at the same time.
And there are two patterns. First, is people take turns
Like, We turns cooking dinner.
Or “They took turns driving on the trip.”
You can also say someone takes turns with another person.”
Like: “I take turns with my roommate doing the laundry.”
Or: Steve takes turns with Patty walking the dog.
“We take turns with each other using the computer.”
