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

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).

I hope you have a great day!
