The ba-sentence 2: “A 把 B + V + 在 / 到 / 给”

1. Change of location (在 / 到): If the action places or moves an object to a specific place, use 在 (zài) or 到 (dào) + location after the verb.

2. Transfer of ownership / recipient (给): If the action transfers the object to another person, use 给 (gěi) + recipient after the verb.
