    Default give to me/give me

    In this sentence should I use 'give to me ' or 'give me '?

    This is the best compliment someone could ever give me or give to me.

    In that sentence, either one is fine.

    Default Re: give to me/give me

    Why 'give to me' is possible? Is it because is in the passive form?
