389. Win for Beat
(X) We've always won your team.
(O) We've always beaten your team.
To win is to get something you wanted, to beat is to overcome an opponent:

The principal parts of each verb: beat-beat-beaten and win-won-won.
390. Bring for Take
(X) The astronauts are bringing plants to the moon.

Using bring or take depends on where the speaker or doer is.
We use bring for things coming to where we are and take for things going somewhere else:
Take these cakes to your grandmother and bring (back) some flowers from her garden.
Note: To fetch means to go somewhere else and come back with something:
Please fetch me a glass of water (= go and come back with a glass of water).
391. Like for Want, etc

(O) Do you want to see my collection?
Do you like to do something? means do you enioy doing it as a habitual action.
Do you want to do something? means do you wish to do it now.
Note: I would/'d like means I want // Would/'d like is more polite than want.
I would/'d like (= I want) to play tennis today.
Would you like (= do you want) to go for a walk with me?
