  1. D
    Nelle frasi dove tutti e due i componenti sono pronomi la struttura alternativa va utilizzata con molta cautela perché facilmente suona male o risulta poco comprensibile

      1. Thinking about it better, Luca’s answer makes me think, as I think the right answer is “D”, but the sentence of the letter “C” doesn’t sound so wrong… Bel tranello direi!

        1. Quello che voglio dire è che mi viene in mente quell’articolo “Give your English a chance” o qualcosa del genere, ma sicuramente quella frase farà parte delle “eccezioni”…

        2. Looking on the dictionary:

          give [sb] [sth]
          give [sth] to [sb]

          so prof?

          1. “Give somebody something” is great except when both the direct and the indirect object are pronouns, as in this case. Sentence ‘C’ is possible, but it doesn’t sound great and can easily be misunderstood as a result. Consequently, in these cases, it is better to stick to the ‘standard’ formula: “give something to somebody”.
