So I thought it would be a good time to learn 25 collocations with \u201cgive\u201d \u2013 these are the common combinations of words that we use together with \u201cgive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to start with some simpler ones and then learn some more that might not be so obvious, or might not mean what you think.<\/p>\n<p>Studying collocations is wonderful for learning how to put words together in a natural way. You can learn collocations fast inside my e-book, <a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/1000-collocations-in-10-minutes-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>1000 collocations in 10 minutes a day.<\/strong><\/a> Each lesson is full of useful expressions, and it\u2019s really quick to read the lesson and then take the quiz to practice.<\/p>\n<p>OK, are you ready to learn lots of expressions with the word \u201cgive\u201d?<\/p>\n<h4>give someone a call\/ring<\/h4>\n<p>Our first one is to <strong>give someone a call<\/strong> or <strong>give someone a ring.<\/strong> These are informal ways to say \u201ccall someone on the telephone.\u201d If I\u2019m going to be visiting a city where my friend lives, she might say \u201cGive me a call when you get here\u201d \u2013 meaning \u201ccall me on the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>give someone a ride\/lift<\/h4>\n<p>Another very common one is to <strong>give someone a ride<\/strong> or <strong>give someone a lift.<\/strong> This is when you take the person in your car and drive them to their destination. We would give someone a ride to help them if they don\u2019t have their own transportation. Or if we are both going to the same place, we could give the person a ride because it\u2019s more convenient and economical to share one car instead of taking two cars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/people-in-cars-4345551_640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"327\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/people-in-cars-4345551_640.png 327w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/people-in-cars-4345551_640-300x146.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>give someone a hug\/kiss<\/h4>\n<p>In English, we also say <strong>\u201cgive someone a hug\u201d<\/strong> or <strong>\u201cgive someone a kiss.\u201d <\/strong>The words hug and kiss are also verbs \u2013 so we could simply say \u201chug someone\u201d or \u201ckiss someone\u201d \u2013 but another option is \u201cgive your sister a hug\u201d or \u201cgive your teddy bear a kiss.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>give an answer\/explanation\/opinion\/example<br \/>\ngive advice\/information<\/h4>\n<p>Give is used in several collocations involving speaking or communicating \u2013 we can <strong>give an answer, give an explanation, give an opinion, give an example, give advice, or give information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Note that we don\u2019t use \u201can\u201d before advice or information, because those are uncountable nouns. We could say give some advice or give some information, but never \u201can advice\u201d or \u201can information,\u201d OK?<\/p>\n<h4>give a speech\/talk\/lecture\/presentation<\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to public speaking, we also <strong>give a speech, give a talk, give a lecture, and give a presentation.<\/strong> The visiting professor gave a lecture to the class. The governor gave a speech on Independence Day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/training-3185170_640-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/training-3185170_640-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/training-3185170_640-70x60.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/training-3185170_640-140x120.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/training-3185170_640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>give birth<\/h4>\n<p>When a pregnant woman gets the baby out of her body, this is called <strong>giving birth.<\/strong> My cousin gave birth to twins (two babies) last month. Or my friend is planning on giving birth at home instead of in a hospital. The process of a mother having a baby is called giving birth.<\/p>\n<h4>give permission<\/h4>\n<p>When we <strong>give permission,<\/strong> we say that an action is OK for someone to do. My brother gave me permission to use his expensive camera; he said it\u2019s OK for me to do it.<\/p>\n<h4>give credit<\/h4>\n<p>When we <strong>give credit<\/strong>, that means we recognize and talk about something good that another person has done. If my co-worker put in a lot of hours on a project, I could acknowledge his hard work by saying \u201cI have to give John credit for making this report so detailed and accurate.\u201d Sometimes you\u2019ll hear the phrase \u201cgive credit where credit is due,\u201d meaning to recognize someone who deserves to be recognized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/thumbs-up-4007573_640-1-300x210.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/thumbs-up-4007573_640-1-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/thumbs-up-4007573_640-1.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>give someone a hand<\/h4>\n<p>To <strong>give someone a hand<\/strong> is an informal way to say \u201chelp the person.\u201d This is often with a physical task, like \u201cI can\u2019t carry all these heavy packages, can you give me a hand?\u201d meaning can you help me?<\/p>\n<h4>give notice<\/h4>\n<p>To <strong>give notice<\/strong> means to alert someone to something, to call their attention to it \u2013 but give notice actually has an even more specific meaning, and that is to inform your company that you are planning to leave, you don\u2019t want to work there anymore.<\/p>\n<p>So for example, \u201cOur receptionist gave notice last week; she\u2019s planning on going back to school.\u201d \u2013 this means she told the company she is quitting her job, she\u2019s going to stop working.<\/p>\n<h4>give someone a heads up<\/h4>\n<p>A more common and informal way to talk about alerting someone in general is to <strong>give someone a heads up<\/strong>. This is often used for alerting someone to potential problems, dangers, or difficulties, but it can also be used more generally for any type of situation you want the person to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>For example, \u201cMake sure to give everyone a heads up that the gym will be closed on Friday for maintenance.\u201d \u2013 we want to prevent people from arriving and finding the gym closed, so we alert them, we give them a heads up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-16218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/warning-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/warning-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/warning.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>give someone pause<\/h4>\n<p>If something <strong>gives you pause,<\/strong> it means it makes you hesitate and stop and think. So you don\u2019t just keep going with your action, you pause to consider it more carefully. Maybe you want to buy a house in a particular city, but the rising crime rate there gives you pause \u2013 it makes you hesitate, you stop and think carefully if you really want to go ahead with your plans.<\/p>\n<h4>give someone a hard time<\/h4>\n<p>To <strong>give someone a hard time <\/strong>is used in two slightly different ways. Saying that an object is giving you a hard time means it is presenting some sort of difficulty. For example, I\u2019m trying to sign up for the class but the website is giving me a hard time, I keep getting an error message.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s probably more common is saying a person is giving you a hard time, and this means the person is teasing, joking with, or annoying you, or treating you harshly. Let\u2019s say your whole family is doctors, but you choose to study literature instead \u2013 your parents might give you a hard time for not going into a medical career. This might mean light-hearted teasing, or it might mean they criticize your decision in an unfriendly way.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teasing-joking.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teasing-joking.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teasing-joking-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teasing-joking-70x60.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>not give a fig\/damn\/shit<\/h4>\n<p>When you hear someone say <strong>\u201cI don\u2019t give a fig \/ I don\u2019t give a damn \/ I don\u2019t give a shit\u201d<\/strong> and other expressions like that, they are saying \u201cI COMPLETELY don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is very informal and a little bit rude, so be careful what you say this about or who you say it to. A simple example for me would be I don\u2019t give a fig about celebrities \u2013 I really don\u2019t care, I have absolutely no interest, about what movie stars or famous singers are doing.<\/p>\n<h4>give my best to someone<\/h4>\n<p>Sometimes we want to send greetings or good wishes to someone else who is not present, through another person \u2013 we can use the expression <strong>\u201cgive my best to\u2026\u201d<\/strong> For example, if I have lunch with my friend, and her husband is not present, but I want to communicate my greetings to him, I would tell her \u201cgive my best to your husband.\u201d We usually say this when closing a conversation or saying goodbye.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18793\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/soldier-2676585_640-288x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/soldier-2676585_640-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/soldier-2676585_640.png 614w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>give rise to<\/h4>\n<p>To <strong>give rise to <\/strong>something means to cause it to happen, or to create the situation in which something is more likely to happen.
