Разбор по языкам
В родном языке
Some recipient-like relations are governed by dative, even when English uses a direct object.
Я помог другу.
I helped a friend.
На изучаемом языке
В английском получателя или того, для кого делается действие, выражают с помощью to/for или порядком слов с двумя дополнениями: например, send me a message и send a message to me.
She sent a message to me.
to me = получатель: сообщение направлено мне.
Учащиеся могут путать to и for или выбирать неправильный порядок дополнений в предложениях с получателем.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
