Explanation
Lift has several meanings. As a verb, it means to raise or move something up. For example, he lifted the box onto the table. It can also mean to make someone feel happier, the activity lifted his mood. As a noun, a lift can be a machine in a building that carries people up and down floors. For example, they used the lift to reach the fifth floor. It can also mean a free ride from someone, which is when a person helps another by taking them somewhere in their vehicle. For example: “He gave him a lift to school” means he drove him to school without asking for money. But a lift should only be taken from someone you know and trust, like a friend, a family member, or another safe, known person, not from strangers because you do not know their intentions.
