Juan cogió las llaves y abrió la puerta.
Juan took the keys and opened the door.

Coge mi mano para que no te caigas.
Hold my hand so you won't fall.

Mexicans prefer alternative verbs ("tomar", "agarrar") but it's always clear what you mean, so no need to get obsessed with the vulgar meaning.

Yes you're right with the spelling.
I'm sorry for the mistake.
