Hi there! I have some doubts about "save" when it is used as a verb with two objects (direct and indirect).
I know that the following two sentences are interchangeable and OK:
1-1. The plan will save us a lot of money.
1-2. The plan will save a lot of money for us.
Do the following work the same?
2-1. The plan will save us the trouble.
2-2. The plan will save the trouble for us.
Personally, I've never come across sentences like 2-2 and it sounds wrong to my ears.
Please clarify this for me. Thanks in advance!
