Removing something from something (past tense removed it from)

Removing is not really an action in its own right. Whereas there are many ways to put something down (on the floor, on top of something, inside something else, giving it to somebody else, and so on), Inform has only one way to take something: the taking action. Removing exists only to provide some nicely worded replies to impossible requests, and in all sensible cases is converted into taking.

Typed commands leading to this action

    "take [things inside] from [something]"
