Hello, everyone!. I have gotten a question about dative verbs. Could you take a look at the below? Bring a present for(or to) Helen. Bring Helen a present. I guess the both sentences above could have a simmilar meaning. But I have been wondering this case could be applied to the following situations too. A-1. The team's new manager brings ten years' experience to the job. A-2. The team's new manager brings the job ten years' experience.(?) B-1 The team's new manager brings ten years' experience to the the team players. B-2 The team's new manager brings the the team players (his) ten years' experience. (?) Are both A-2 and B-2 possible and natural? I'm coufused. Many thanks in advance!
