answer
**持って来ます** is some sort of compound verb, and as many of these verbs it is
best understood when reading it's conforming verbs in sequence.

  1. 持って来ます.
  2. 持つ & 来る.
  3. take/have & come.
  4. **Finally we understand it is the transitive verb:** to bring.(because you take something and come someplace)

There are a lot of this kind of words and you can even make your own as
needed:

**て-verb1 + verb2**.

e.g. 傘を忘れて出かけました。 I forgot my umbrella and left(without it).
