Spoken English has a lot of little expressions that are used frequently by native speakers - and some of these expressions are so similar that you might accidentally mix them up.
Two such expressions are "give you peace of mind" and "give someone a piece of your mind" - they sound almost the same, but they are in fact very different.
I hope this lesson has helped make these expressions clear!
As always, try to put the phrases into practice by creating your own examples.
