Bring vs fetch #2 (permalink) Sat Jun 26, 2004 14:49 pm   Bring vs fetch
 

Hi Abraham,

When you bring something you take it from one place to another place and leave it there.
When you fetch something or someone you collect or retrieve them from somewhere.

For example:

I'll fetch you from the station as soon as your train arrives.

Please, bring the book back to the library.

Yes, depending on the context. For example you could say:

Could you please fetch my pencil from the desk over there, I don't want to get up.
