Meaning of GIVE IT A GO and GIVE IT A SHOT - A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English if you say, I will give it a go,

or I'll give it a go,

it means that you are willing to try something new.

Let's imagine that you do not exercise.

Let's imagine that you don't run,

you don't walk,

you don't swim,

and you don't cycle.

You don't do anything for exercise.

Your brother might say to you,

"You should start walking for exercise,

"it's easier than running,

"it's easier than swimming,

"it's easier than cycling,

"I think walking would be a great exercise for you to do."

You could respond by saying,

"That makes a lot of sense,

"I'll give it a go."

So in English if you say, I'll give it a go,

it means you're willing to try something new.

You could also imagine your brother also saying

that you should eat more vegetables

because that will make you feel a lot healthier.

You could say, "That's a great idea,

"I'll give it a go as well."

So if you say, I'll give it a go,

it means you're willing to try something new.

We have a second phrase that means exactly the same thing

and that's the phrase, I will give it a shot

or I'll give it a shot.

So using the same examples if your brother said,

"I think you should start walking for exercise."

You could say, "That makes a lot of sense,

"it sounds like a really easy exercise to do,

"I'll give it a shot."

So again in English if you say, I will give it a go,

or I'll give it a go,

or if you say, I will give it a shot,

or I'll give it a shot,

it means that you are willing to try something new.
