- give it to you: Use to to indicate the direction or the recipient of a transfer/action.
Tip for Romance Language Speakers: It is very common to mix these up because languages like Spanish, French, and Italian often use a single preposition (like en, à, or por/para) to cover multiple English prepositions. Memorizing these specific time, place, and direction rules will help you sound much more natural!
