If I write two phrasal verbs with difference prepositions consecutively, can I omit the first preposition?

Give or take away something from someone.

The problem in this sentence is that normally one would say "Give to" or "take away from" someone, but what should I write when I want to refer to both alternatives?

Solution 1:

If that's the exact sentence, then:

Give or take away something.

In that sentence, the "to someone" or "from someone" is unnecessary.

Solution 2:

Presumably you want to remove as much redundancy as possible but maintaining correct syntax.

When you have an alternation, an attempt to combine 'X Z' and 'Y Z', you make take each part completely to give:

X or Y Z

For example, from 'Give something to someone' and Take something away from someone', you get

Give something to or take away something from someone

Because 'Give X to...' and 'Take away X from...' are not perfectly parallel it seems strange, but it's still OK to say:

Give to or take away something from someone

If you don't have the 'to', namely

*Give or take away something from someone

it sounds strange, because in resolving the parallelism it sounds like you are saying 'Give away something from someone' and that is not grammatical.
