La réponse en bref
Boys vs girls: "give me a hand" means help
"Give me a hand" means "help me," usually with a physical job like carrying or moving something. To offer help, ask "You need a hand?" For work or with people you don't know well, "Can you help me?" or "Could you give me a hand with this?" sound clear and polite.

-
You need a hand? Ton: Friendly offer
Use it when you see someone struggling with a task and you want to offer help. It's casual, so with a manager or a stranger in a formal place, "Can I help you with that?" is safer.
“Hey. You need a hand?”
-
Give me a hand. Ton: Casual request
Use it with friends, family or coworkers you know well when you need quick help with a job. It's an order in form, so say it in a friendly voice, and don't use it with someone you need to be careful with.
“Charlie, give me a hand.”
-
Can you help me? Ton: Clear and direct
This plain request works almost anywhere: at work, in a shop or on the street. It doesn't say what kind of help you need, so add the task if it isn't obvious.
“Can you help me?”
-
Could you give me a hand with this? Ton: Polite and warm
Use it when you want the friendly feeling of "a hand" but with more politeness. "Could" makes the request softer, so it fits coworkers and neighbors. Follow it with "with" and the task.
-
I could use some help. Ton: Soft and indirect
Use it when you want help but don't want to ask directly. The other person can offer. It's less clear than a question, so in a hurry, ask "Can you help me?" instead.
-
Let me help you with that. Ton: Kind and confident
Use it when you are ready to help right away, for example when someone drops papers or carries a lot. It sounds natural when the person clearly needs help. If you aren't sure, ask first.

Can you give me your hand with this box?Formulation conseillée Can you give me a hand with this box?
"A hand" means help. "Your hand" means the real hand on your body, which is what Theo gives Hana in the Short.

À corriger
Can you give me a hand to carry this?Formulation conseillée Can you give me a hand with this? / Can you give me a hand carrying this?
After "give me a hand," use "with" plus a noun, or a verb with -ing. "To carry" is not wrong in every case, but "with" and "-ing" sound much more natural.
-
À corriger
Give me a hand. (to a new manager or a customer)Formulation conseillée Could you help me with this, please?
"Give me a hand" is an imperative, so it sounds like an order with people you don't know well. A question with "could" and "please" is more polite.
