Aug 9, 2020 at 13:45 | comment | added | choster | As a side note, conjugation in English refers to the inflection of a verb reflecting its tense, number, and other functions, e.g. give, gave, given or remember, remembered, remembered. An occurrence of a word with another word is a collocation, but there is no specific term for the change in meaning when a verb is collocated with certain prepositions; these are simply verb-preposition pairs or verb-preposition combinations or the like. | |

Aug 9, 2020 at 1:55 | comment | added | Juan | @Jason Bassford so is lack of vocabulary? That's why I can not understand the meaning of given over? | |

Aug 9, 2020 at 0:59 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | Over has far more senses than you've indicated in the question. One sense that's relevant here is "1 f: from one person or side to another // hand it over." (Give also has many more senses than you've indicated.) | |
