Answer

Well, when you say "I take some books" it means you grab with your hands. It's more possesive. But, when you say "She took me" (or "she takes me" in present, whatever) it means she escort to somewhere. Like a company.

Answer

Great question!
You can say... I have already taken my medicine.

"take" or "takes" is the present tense
"took" is the past tense
"have taken" is the present perfect tense.
