OK, I am using tomando here. Why is that incorrect? I think they say some words are wrong just to force us to learn new words. This can be kind of confusing to some folks that might think now that tomar is wrong when it's not. Or am I totally mistaken?

In much of Latin America, you shouldn't use coger as it has a vulgar meaning. Tomar or agarrar are better choices. (In Spain, it's totally fine.)

Sounds like there's a divorce going on here!
I think coger is probably the right verb to 'take possession of' something, rather than tomar which is partaking in something.

I think you're right I have the same problem. there's nothing wrong with "tomando" as far as I'm concerned !!

There are a couple things wrong with this sentence. First, it doesn't accept "las tazas" (reported) and suggests "las copas." However, when I put "las copas" it says I have a typo and tells me to put "cojes" instead of "coges," which is totally wrong.
