a dative verb, ask
Hello, everyone.
If I want to change the below sentence into having one object, what prepostion should I use?
Ted asked his father how to drive.
Ted asked how to drive to his father.
Ted asked how to drive of his father.
I have learned the verb ask gets along with 'of' when it has one object, but I think it seems a bit strange that I use ''of' for this sentence. Could I use 'to' instead of 'of'?
Many thanks in advance.

- "Of" is strange, as you say, but correct—technically correct, but not natural.
- Nobody would ever put it that way.
