        <p>The dative case is used to indicate the <span class="bold"><strong>indirect
              object</strong></span> in the sentence. In English, the indirect object will often
          follow a preposition such as "to" (I wrote a letter to my brother) or "for" (I bought this
          book for my sister.) In Russian, no preposition is needed in these sentences.</p>
