Take a loan or take OUT a loan
Is it "to take a loan to buy something such as a car" or "to take out a loan to buy something such as a car"?
If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If so, which is more commonly used?
Thank you.

Yes, and there is third option; see below: [1] take a loan to buy something such as a car [2] take out a loan to buy something such as a car [3] take a loan out to buy something such as a car All three are possible and have the same meaning, though t here's a slight difference in the grammar, of course. The preposition " out " is called a 'particle' here. Particles are short words, usually prepositions, and they are the only complements that can freely come between the verb and its direct object as in [2], as well as after the object as in [3].
