The basic sense of the dative case is as indirect object. English nouns in the dative case simply follow prepositions such as to, for, with. English pronouns have a form for the dative and/or accusative case: me, you, him/her or it; and us, you, them. Call me a cab on your cellphone (= call a cab for me, using your cell) has both a noun and a pronoun in the dative case.

The dative case is used to indicate the indirect object of a sentence, showing to whom or for whom an action is being done. In English, this often involves the use of prepositions like 'to' or 'for'. Nouns and pronouns in the dative case receive the action of the verb indirectly.

I explain you how to install the software I explain to you how to install the software Which of these to sentences is correct. Why?
The second sentence is better. Because English does not have a different case form for direct object and for indirect objects, there is a strong tendency to expect the first noun or pronoun after a transitive verb, such as "explain" in the given sentence, to be the direct object unless this first noun or pronoun is followed almost immediately by another noun or pronoun that serves as the direct object. In the given sentence, the direct object is a clause, so that the second sentence, which makes it clear that "you" is not the direct object, is easier to understand. A noun or pronoun in a foreign language such as Latin or German that does have a distinct dative case can almost always be properly translated into English by placing the preposition "to" before the objective case of the noun in English.

So also in the case of a noun used as a direct object, the noun will have an accusative case ending appended.
