Let's get started with today's lesson.
Give is one of the most common verbs in English, and it's used in a lot of different expressions.
You can give someone the boot, give someone grief, or give someone your word.
Do you know what these mean?
Today let's learn ten expressions using the word give.
Before we start, I want to invite you to my very first master class,
where we will learn a hundred total expressions from ten common verbs.

All right, let's learn these ten give expressions.
Number one, give someone a break.
This means to stop criticizing the person or stop being so demanding or harsh to them.
For example, I know he made a mistake, but give him a break.
