I believe the answer is:

get away with it

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'don't be caught' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'take article and' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'take' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is present in the answer.
'article' could be 'a' (the indefinite article in English) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'with' and 'with' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for get away with it that I've seen before include "Escape punishment" , "avoid being caught" .)
