What are some examples of dual verbs?

You're likely asking about ditransitive verbs, which are verbs that take both a direct object and an indirect object.

Here are some examples of ditransitive verbs:

* Give: I gave her (indirect object) a present (direct object).

* Send: He sent me (indirect object) a letter (direct object).

* Tell: She told him (indirect object) a story (direct object).

* Offer: They offered us (indirect object) some tea (direct object).

* Show: He showed her (indirect object) the painting (direct object).

* Promise: I promised them (indirect object) a reward (direct object).

Key things to note about ditransitive verbs:

* Indirect object: Usually answers the question "to whom?" or "for whom?"

* Direct object: Answers the question "what?" or "whom?"

* Order: You can usually switch the order of the indirect object and direct object if you use a preposition like "to" or "for": "I gave a present to her."
