He never gave me a chance to explain why vs He never give a chance to explain why

The correct phrase to use is 'he never gave me a chance to explain why.' The verb 'gave' should be in the past tense to match the rest of the sentence. 'Give' is the base form of the verb and isn't correct in this context.
