Dative case is a case that marks any of the following:
1. Indirect objects (for languages in which they are held to exist)
2. Nouns having the role of
recipient (as of things given)
beneficiary of an action, or
possessor of an item
ex: I gave the flowers to John.
Double Object Structure:
S + V (main) + dat. + O
ex: I gave him the address.
S V dat. O

Comment:
I think this is where the English phrase "I give him it",
though trying to conform to the "double object" structure,
fails because the object cannot be a pronoun but must be
a direct object. Whereas the "dative" structure is
gramatically accepted and quite error-free in English.
Not sure on my explanation though. Just thoughts....:P
