Grammar notes

Who Gets the Thing? (Indirect Objects: Word Order)

Some verbs can take two objects: the thing and the person who gets it.

English often gives you two possible word orders.

Both are useful, so your ear should get comfortable with both.

  • Example: Give me the book.
  • Example: Give the book to me.

Quick Rule

  • person + thing -> give me the book
  • thing + to + person -> give the book to me

Same message, two roads. English is polite enough to offer both.
