It takes, it takes + person

1. Making affirmative sentences: It takes describes how much time is necessary to do a certain activity.

   • Example: It takes me twenty minutes to get to the mall.
     • Making negative statements: We use it takes the same way as we do with the most verbs; does + not
       • Examples: It doesn't take as long as you said.
         • Interrogatives sentences: We use "it takes" the same way as we do with must verbs, using does.
           • Example: How long does it take to get from here to the lake?

2. We can mention a person after "it takes" to describe how much time that person needs to do a certain activity.

   • Examples:
     • It usually takes John three hours to do his math homework.
       • It doesn't take Alex very long to fix the car.
