    Give is a very common verb that has several meanings. Its past tense is gave. Its -ed participle is given.

    Give usually takes an indirect object. For some meanings of give, the indirect object must go in front of the direct object. For other meanings, it can go either in front of the direct object or after it.

    2. physical actions

    Give is often used to describe physical actions. When you use give like this, put the indirect object in front of the direct object. For example, say ‘He gave the ball a kick‘. Don’t say ‘He gave a kick to the ball‘.

    He gave the door a push.

    Ana gave Bal’s hand a squeeze.

    3. expressions and gestures

    That noise gives me a headache.

    5. things

    If you give someone something, you offer it to them and they take it. When you use give like this, the indirect object can go either in front of the direct object or after it. When you put the direct object first, you put to in front of the indirect object.

    She gave Ravinder the keys.

    He gave the letter to the teacher.

    However, when the direct object is a pronoun such as it or them and the indirect object is not a pronoun, you must put the direct object first. Say ‘He gave it to his father‘. Don’t say ‘He gave his father it‘.

    He poured some milk and gave it to Joseph.

    6. information

    You also say that you give someone information, advice, a warning, or an order. When give is used like this, the indirect object can go either in front of the direct object or after it.
