NO, " Can you pick me up ?" is the main context here. _________________ If you need me, I'm here. |

Good morning DE, We all feel more comfortable when using our own language.
I too would find great difficulty in trying to write in your language, and so I appreciate what you are saying, but you have to concentrate my friend.
You are learning a new language, and it is never going to be easy, but it will become easier if you slow down and concentrate. Just do your very best. No-one can ask for more.
We can help, but you have to show us that YOU are really trying.
Take care . Kitosdad. _________________ If you need me, I'm here. |

Bring = carry to/from this place Take = carry to/from that place Fetch = go to that place and get (something) and carry it to this place. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

When your train arrives, I'll FETCH you from the station.
When your train arrives, I'll TAKE you from the station.
Personally I would use TAKE instead of FETCH in this sentence. or maybe fetch is more British and take more US ?[/b] |

| Thank you Torsten,Yankee and Alan all about your post. Now I'm understand verry clear about the words Fetch and Pick up are the same meaning but as Yankee have said : We the most use the word Pick up people instead fetch. Thank you again. |
