TAKE OVER: meaning and examples

Good morning.

Today's expression is: To take over

Meaning: To gain control of a business, a company, etc., especially by buying shares (acciones); to assume the control of or the responsibility for something.

Example 1
Google was going to take over Yahoo, but in the end Yahoo decided not to sell.

Example 2

Example 3
CBS Records was taken over by Sony.

There are other meanings of take over, which we will review in future Daily Vitamins.

If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website (www.ziggurat.es).

Remember that tomorrow we will send the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English.

I hope you have a great day!
