双宾语由直接宾语和间接宾语组成.直接宾语是谓语动词的承受者,间接宾语表示谓语动作的方向（对谁做）或动作的目标（为谁做）,间接宾语紧接在谓语动词后,但它不能单独存在.它和直接宾语组成双宾语.
Give me a cup of tea,please.请给我一杯茶.有时,间接宾语也可改为由介词to或for引起的短语,放在直接宾语的后面.如：She passed him the salt.＝She passed the salt to him.她把盐递给了他.Her uncle bought her an English-Chinese dictionary yesterday.＝ Her uncle bought an English-Chinese dictionary for her yesterday.昨天,她叔叔给她买了一本英汉词典.
下面几种情况,通常要用介词to或for引起的短语：1.当直接宾语是人称代词（it／them）,间接宾语是名词时：或两个宾语都是人称代词时.如：The watch is Li Lei's.Please give it to him.这块手表是李雷的.请把它给他.2.当强调间接宾语时.如：Mother cooks breakfast for us every day.母亲每天都为我们做早饭.3.当间接宾语比直接宾语长时.如：On the bus,he often gives his seat to an old person.在公共汽车上,他经常把座位让给老人.注：由to连接间接宾语的动词有：pass,give,show,tell,lend,take等；由for连接间接宾语的动词有：buy,cook,get,sing,make等
