jdm. einen Verweis erteilen

to give a reprimand

Türkçe: uyarı vermek

Not jdm. einen Verweis geben

English says to give, so geben is the verb that comes to mind. German does not take it here. Verweis goes with erteilen, and the pairing is fixed — it is not a rule you can work out, only one you can learn.
