Commonsense - 'Actions'.

ACTIONS -

Consider this sentence - "Take one tablet everyday for one week".

Here, 'take' means 'consume', and not just take (in your hands).

If someone instructs you to do an action, you think of its probable intended purpose alongwith.

So incorporate this in a program - if (instruction for action): 

                                                      then think of its purpose.

So 'take' means take for the purpose of consuming.

--------------------

The step immediately following the action, may or may not be the purpose of the action.

Case 1 - 

When the immediately following step is also the purpose of the action, its commonsense, and the action and the purpose merge.

a) In the example above, "Take" -(actually means)-> "Take + eat"

b) When one fielder shouts at another - Throw the ball.

The purpose of throwing the ball is to hit the stumps, which is also the immediately following step in the process. So, there is merger : "throw" -(actually means)-> "throw + hit the stumps".

Case 2 - 

Consider someone telling you - Wash your hands (after your meal is over). 

When someone says this to you, you realize their intended purpose - that is - to clean the hands, (which is for them being usable for other purposes later). However, the 'immediately following step' in this case is 'wiping them with a napkin', which is NOT the purpose of the action.
