Take over Meaning in English
expression
释义
To start having control or responsibility for something, especially from someone else. Commonly used for jobs, companies, or responsibilities.
用法与细微差别
Mainly informal to neutral; often used in business, leadership, and responsibility contexts. Common collocations: 'take over a company', 'take over as manager', 'take over for someone'. Not used for physical possession; doesn't mean to simply 'take'. Distinct from 'take on', which means to accept (a task/responsibility), not to seize control.
