4. If we want to leave someone or say good bye in English it
is also called Leave Taking. Usually, if we are separating
from someone, we will say good bye, see you later or see
you next time. So, learning leave taking will help us to say
good bye properly to people around us.
Leave someone or something alone, to not annoy,
change, or touch someone or something. (Cambridge
