Common errors in English: Usage of Ditransitive verb + two objects

 Ditransitive verb + two objects


Incorrect : I asked her for sugar, and she gave me. 


Correct : I asked her for sugar, and she gave me some.


Note: Ditransitive verbs like "give”, “bring", "send', “tell", "buy" and "show' must have two expressed objects - one indirect and the other direct. In the correct sentence above, "me" is the indirect object of the verb "gave" and "some" is its direct object. The direct object cannot be omitted.
