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 5:51 comment added Jason Bassford @PabloRamosEscalona Note, too, that there isn't only a single sense of give over: (1) I gave over my keys for safe keeping. (2) I gave myself over to the Dark Side. (3) "Give over, guv! Stop pulling my leg."
Aug 9, 2020 at 2:53 comment added Em. Lots of learners have this problem. I believe this is related/relevant: Fall vs Fall down.
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.)
