Hi Lubna. To “pull over” is referring to a vehicle. To move to the side of or off the road.
“Drop off” is when you take a person to a specific place and leave them there.
Yes you can use take off when talking about planes.
You can also use “take off”when talking about clothes, “ Take off your shoes”
Hope this helps you! If you need more help, you can send me a message 🙂

Pull over means stop and is usually said to a driver asking him to stop ..
Drop off means let a passenger get out of the vehicle at a certain spot ..
And yes , take off is only said while talking about planes ..

Pull over = Stop the car
Drop off = drop a person at the place they wanted to go ( I dropped Sarah off at home)
Take off = The plane lifts off the ground
(The first 2 relate to cars and the last to an aircraft)

Hi. In Canada, take off isn't only used for planes. When it is used for planes, it refers to the plane speeding down the runway and leaving the ground. It also is used to refer to removing your clothes before going to bed, for example. In Canada, it's also used to mean 'to leave' or 'to go away.' "It's been great having dinner with you but I have to take off as I have some homework to do." If you don't take off, I'm going to hit you."
Cheers
