*Note: Be very careful with these two verbs depending on which Spanish speaking country
you are in.
In Spain, it is very common to use the verb "coger".
However, this has a completely different, sexual meaning in certain South American
countries. So, if you are in South America, it's safer to use "tomar".

A NOTE ON REFLEXIVE VERBS
A lot of these verbs are reflexive e.g. to wash my hair = lavarse el pelo.
In English, the verb does not change but the possessive adjective before hair changes to
reflect who is doing the action.
In Spanish, the verb is reflexive and changes to reflect who is doing the action.
Note: normally in Spanish, it is not normally necessary to use the subject pronoun (Yo,
T, l, Ella, Nosotros, Vosotros, Ellos, Ellas). However, if you need to distinguish between
a girl and a boy then it is possible to include it (see below).
I wash my hair. Me lavo el pelo.
You wash your hair. Te lavas el pelo.
