用法筆記
The verb 'take' is irregular: present 'take', past simple 'took', past participle 'taken'. 'Took' is only used for completed past actions — do not use it with 'have' (❌ 'I have took it'). Use the past participle 'taken' with auxiliary verbs instead.

'took' is the simple past form and does not need an auxiliary verb like 'have'.
