A collocation is two or more words that often go together. Learning them helps increase vocabulary and fluency. Today, we'll learn my 5 favorite collocations with GIVE: give a break, give a call, give a chance, give a hand, and give a ride.

Could you give me a hand? This box is to heavy for me.
Could they give us a hand on Saturday?
Give (someone) a call
To call someone on the phone.
