Hi Carol, 

The verb sortir on its own means to go out -

Ce soir, nous sortons vers 21 h = Tonight, we are going out at about 9 PM

Elle sort avec mon cousin She is going out with my cousin

En hiver, je sors rarement le soir = In the winter, I go out rarely at night

Hope this helps!

Sortir can also mean "to take something outside" if used transitively.

Il ne sort jamais la poubelle. -- He never takes out the trash.
