Some verbs take two objects, though they can often be rewritten using a single object and a plus-alpha (prepositional) phrase.

Subject	Verb	Object	Object	extra = plus a
My mother	gave	me	a necklace	for my birthday.
The little boy	bought	his mother	some flowers	for Mother's Day.
The young American	asked	us	a question	about kabuki.

The first two sentences can also be written:

My mother gave a necklace to me for my birthday.
The little boy bought some flowers for his mother for Mother's Day.
