take a turn—
1. go for a short walk or ride:
- It was such a nice day that we decided to take a turn through the park.
2. do one’s share; engage in a short period of activity:
- There was no wind so … each took a turn at operating the boat under engine power.
take turns—do smth. in turn; alternate at regular intervals:
- Since we took turns driving, we did not find the trip too tiring.
