1 Use the prefix пере- when there is at least one middleman such as “Give him my love.” or “Please pass the butter.”

2 The implied subject is ты (thou). It is omitted in command sentences just like in English.

3 The implied subject is вы (you).

4 The subject они (they) should be left implied if the identity of the giver is unimportant such as in the sentence “They gave me a job.”

5 Naming a source is obviously not appropriate in this case.
