| a | Robert gave to the child a cookie. |
| b | Robert gave a cookie to the child. |
| c | A cookie Robert gave to the child. |
| d | A cookie gave Robert the child. |
| comment | When we say 'give Something to somebody' we place the indirect object after the direct object: Robert gave a cookie to the child. But when we omit 'to' the indirect object should be placed in front of the direct object. Answers 3 and 4 do not follow the word order: Subject - Verb - Object |
