English marks recipients with double-object order or with prepositions such as to and for.

her = recipient
Sa wikang pinag-aaralan mo
Recipients and beneficiaries are commonly expressed with 'a/para' and indirect object clitics such as me, te, le, nos, les.
Le di el libro a Ana.
I gave the book to Ana.
Learners often omit the indirect object clitic or confuse 'a' and 'para'.
