	Clive  +  417791 Thu, 13 Sep 07 12:57 AM Hi, please tell me which one of these sentences is correct? scenario: where did you go? I went downstairs to take something. I think that you mean 'I went downstairs to get something'. 'Take' means the thing goes with you from upstairs downstairs. 'Get' means you go down and then you and the thing come back up. 1-Don't u want me to ask what did you take from downstairs? 2-Don't you want me to ask what you take from downstairs? 3-Don't you want me to ask what you took from downstairs? 1-Don't you want me to ask what you got from downstairs? 2-Don't you want me to ask what you got from downstairs? 3-Don't you want me to ask what you got from downstairs?

[pause] A:  Do you want me to ask you what you went downstairs to get? CJ CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,399 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
