Hello,
according to your file, you live in Singapore, in Spain??
1) with "to" you should use "one's":
to watch one's step: "Watch your step!" in the imperative.
2) A dictionary would tell you what those expressions mean:
could someone please explain to me /tell me / what these collocations mean :
to hitch a lift :a hitch hiker is someone who asks a car-driver to stop and pick him up to give him a ride/a lift. To hitch a lift is just that:
keep your head : Don't get angry, keep cool!
to gather speed : to accelerate
watch your step! Be careful, walk carefully, watch out for a danger ahead of you.
