Grammar

I have a question.

I got a grammarical quesion like this. We are supposed to put the words within the parenthesis into the correct order.

Shall I ( to/ friend/ you/ my/ Allen/ introduce)?

Its model answer is " Shall I introduce my friend Allen to you?

However , I think it can be " Shall I introduce you to my friend Allen ?"

I think both sentences are ok.

Aren't they? How do you feel about it?

If the latter sentence is not ok, could you explain the reason?

Thank you .

Yes, both are correct. But it's easier to think of contexts where you would say #2, and harder to think of contexts where you would say #1. In my opinion, exercises like this are not a very good way to learn English.
