Double-Object Sentences (2)

A double-object sentence is a sentence in which a verb takes two objects. Generally, the first object refers to a person, while the second object refers to a thing. In this lesson, we learn double-object sentences formed with the verbs 拿 (ná), 送 (sòng), and 卖 (mài) combined with 给.
