What is correct "Sit down" or "Take your sit" when we say to students during the lesson?

�I believe, "take your seats" and "sit down" are synonyms�

It depends where they are.
If they are near their chairs "SIT DOWN"
If they are in another place "TAKE YOUR SIT"
It is my opinion.

I usually use Sit down, please, but there is nothing wrong with Take your seats either.

I think both are correct, as long as you always say �please � afterwards.

That �s right MarionG because "sit" is a verb and "seat" is a noun

I would only use �Please take your seats � wth a group.
It is more formal than �Everybody sit down please � , which is what I would say to a younger class.
With one person, or a few friends, �Please sit down �, �Take a seat � or �Have a seat � (using the singular form even if there is more than one person)
Or you may hear the more formal and old-fashioned ( in church for example),
�Be seated �
