Verbs with 2 objects

If there are two objects in a sentence, the normal word order is:
person - thing

Examples:
I must give my sister a book.

I gave Mandy the letter.
I gave her the letter.

If the thing is a pronoun, it stands behind the verb.
I must give it to her.

If we want to emphasize the person, we put the person after the thing. Then we use the preposition to.

Let's write the letter to John in California.

Using the words describe, explain, report, say - we always put the person after the thing. (preposition to)

I explain this rule to you.
