    • Ann had to bite the bullet and stay at home to take care of her little brother.

      I think 'take care of ' is more suitable than ' take over'.
      Take over that means to succeed to the possession or control of something.

      Dear Ensie or any of members who could also help to check it.
      Thanks a lot.
  • I'll say. Good example, Ensie.
