I have a question
Hi guys. I have doubt. What's the difference between " Take the best of..." and "Take advantage of..." and "seize"? Must I say "I have to take advantage of my skills for doing something to help people" o "I have to make the most of my skills...."?

Gracias Jennipher. Si, fuiste de mucha ayuda. Esa era mi duda. Gracias. Tenia la duda de que " Take advantage of" se usaba solo para referirse a aprovecharse de alguien.

Ambas frases las puedes utilizar y tienen básicamente el mismo sentido, pero, cuando dices "Aprovechar al máximo" estás expresando que quieres sacar el mayor provecho de algo; en este caso de tus habilidades. Espero te sea útil.

Oh. I'm sorry I was refering to "Make the most of".

Seize is taking by force (no choice usually)
Take advantage of refers to literally an advantage (or taking something to get ahead, it usually means your using them like a persons skill while not rewarding, thus the advantage is to you and NOT them).
I honestly have never heard anyone use take the best of except in reference to taking things, it would probably be used in reference to taking the best food, toys, and not in reference to people.
Hope it helps!
