Today, we practice the words “give” and “to”.

• Please give your pen to me.
• Please give your pen to Sarah.

In English, we like to make things short.  We could say:

• Please give Sarah your pen.
• Please give me your pen.

More sentences like “give me”, “give her”, “give us”:

• Will your mother give us some cake?
• Give me all your money!!!      <<< that is not nice to say!

If it happened yesterday, the word is “gave”

• Yesterday, you gave me a pen.  I will give it to you tomorrow.
• Why do you need money? I gave you a lot of money yesterday.

It can also be used for nouns (things) you can’t really touch:

• I will give you a job.
• Can you give me a hand?  <<< not your real hand!  This means “Can you help me”, like, “I need some more hands.”

———-

You will read the words “give me”, but we usually say “gimme”.
Try saying them.  It’s a lot easier to say “gimme”!

• Can you gimme a drink?
• “Gimme Shelter” is the name of a famous song.
• If you need to pick up a big box, you might say “Hey, gimme a hand.”
