Well, it is quite a surprise that there was nobody so far who has supported your sentence. In my personal point of view, your sentence is simply perfect (except that you should have capitalized the first alphabet in a sentence, plus a full-stop at the end). In fact, if you want to express the meaning that your mother brought you to the airport ** by car (or automobile) **, this is possibly the best expression. "My mother took me to the airport." is generally fine, but then there is no indication that it was done by which media of transportation -- it could be by some public transportations, or it could be even that your mother brought you by a luxury private boat, to an airport which is along the sea coast. :) Hence, you do not need to worry about the sentence. It was well written. Ciao, and good day. / 祝 是日安好。

Yes, you can. It is a very normal way to say it. "Drive" in this case means... to take from one place to another by car. ex. The taxi drove us all around town.

"My mother drove me to the airport" means she used a car. "My mother took me to the airport" could mean any method of transport - car, tandem bike, taxi etc. You could also apply this if you both caught a bus or train there.

my mother drive me to the airport or you can say my mother give me a lift to the airport.

1. My mother drives (not "drive" !) me to the airport. (...usually,...) 2. My mother is driving me to the airport (the action is proceeding just now) 3. My mother gives (not "give" !) me a lift to the airport - we only use this kind of sentence if the action happens from time to time as an exception. "To give a lift" means to deliver ths service as a special kindness. ---- It is high time for the authors of this page to learn ENGLISH ! ----
