Well just the word Go means ir.

Take means tomar o llevar.

Bring means traer.


I hope that I don't be in a wrong.

Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
empleo = workplace

Study up on the difference between ir/venir and llevar/traer. The point of reference is different in Spanish, so you'll trip up if you don't pay attention.

For instance, the Spanish translation of "I'm coming" (when you're called) is "voy."

Now I understand, and like Rusty said is empleo

Tomo un empleo = I take/get employment

Voy al/a mi empleo = I am going to my workplace/employ
