In the English Vocabulary Profile:
take = GO WITH SOMEONE
A1 to go somewhere with someone, often paying for them or being responsible for themwalk sb home/to sth
B1 to walk with someone in order to guide them or keep them safe
However, we would argue that the complexity differences are not that clear or simple, and there are other unlisted ways of expressing responsibility, guidance and or safety with the same forms. For example:
Daddy, out of all those men, you were the one that took her home, remember that?
So, you drove her home in her car.
and then I brought him home and continued to care for him for the next eleven years until he died of pancreatitis.
He brought her to his room.
I promise I‘ll do everything I can to get them home safe.
Higher level vocabulary + prepositional phrases are also possible:
Anyway, his wife was there and she rushed him to the hospital.
We want to see if there is other language that has take/walk something to some location.
