How to spell bring

What it means: To take something to a place.

In a sentence: Can you bring your favorite toy to show and tell? ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as bringg or brign.

Same family: brings, bringing, brought, deliver, carry. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Bring” comes from Old English “bringan,” meaning to carry or convey, and is related to German “bringen.” For centuries, English speakers have debated the difference between “bring” (toward the speaker) and “take” (away from the speaker), but in casual speech they are often mixed.
