She can barely take care of herself, let alone look after him.

On their own, they could barely take stock of what is needed.

A full charge would barely take this phone through the day.

He barely took time out to eat and to sleep.

Two months into the Bush administration's term, its foreign policy has still barely taken shape.

His playing must have been on remote control because he could barely take a step ahead of him.
