Cómo usar "tell" y "give" | Ditransitive Verbs

SUMMARY:
The ditransitive verb helps us express actions involving two objects. Remember the phrase “I was given the opportunity to work on a big marketing campaign”? This structure is useful when we want to highlight the action and the recipient, without necessarily mentioning the giver.

• Let’s look at three simple examples:
  Sarah showed me the car.
  Anna told me a story.
  Ravi gave me a pen.

• When we use the ditransitive verb structure, the emphasis is on the action and the receiver. For instance:
  I was shown the car by Sarah.
  I was told a story.
  I was given a pen.

Common ditransitive verbs include buy, give, pass, send, show, tell, make, grant, land, serve, and teach. These verbs help us convey actions involving two objects in a clear and concise manner.
