Using “explain” incorrectly


Can you explain me the grammar?

Can you explain the grammar to me?


Note: Many verbs can be followed by an indirect object pronoun and then a direct object. So we can say, “My friend gave me a ride to class,” “I bought my son a video game,” or “The manager of the restaurant gave us a free appetizer.”


Note: But not all verbs follow this pattern. We cannot follow the verbs explain, describe, and recommend with an indirect object and then a direct object.


Note: Instead we follow this word order:

explain/describe/recommend SOMETHING to SOMEONE

Please explain the problem to me.

I recommend that restaurant to all of my friends.
