The use of the word "to" following certain verbs.

When must one use the word "to" after a verb in the dative case? What is a full list of verbs, after which, "to" must be used?

Ex: I can - give you, tell you, send you, show you, write you.
But I have to - speak TO you, listen TO you, talk TO you.

Why is that, and which words must be followed by "to?"
