how to use "to" with "bring"
Please read these sentences: ( I think they are all correct)
1. Tom brought Jim a book.
2. Tom brought a book to Jim.
3. Tom brought to Jim a book with colorful pictures on the cover.
How should I use this "to" ? Can I say "Tom brought Jim a book with colorful pictures on the cover" ?
Thanks!
