Comments 送 给
sòng gěi used a resultative verb phrase. The main verb is 送
sòng, which means to give something as a present. 给
gěi implies to give the present to somebody. For example, in 我 送 给 你 一 张 照 片
wŏ sòng gěi nĭ yì zhāng zhàopiàn
I'll give you a photo as a present, the main action is to give something away as a present, but the person to whom the present is given is 你
nĭ
you. Therefore the 给
gěi that is placed after 送
sòng refers to the object 你
nĭ
you.
