When before sleeping if one ask me how much you drink water today. How can I respond him in better way or which one is right one?
I took 5 glass of water.
or
I take 5 glass of water today.
Because somehow I am using past sentence because I am going to sleep and right now am not drinking water.
Answer
ARG, good question. We actually don’t use take at all for liquids. We would only use the verb drink.
I drank five glasses of water today.
Similarly, we use only use the verb eat for food.
I ate five cupcakes.
But we can use the verb take for medicine.
I took five aspirin today.
