送给 / 借给 / 还给【sòng gěi / jiè gěi / huán gěi】

A verb that hands something over – 送 "give as a present", 借 "lend", 还 "return", 交 "hand in", 寄 "post" – takes 给 right after it, then the person who receives, then the thing.

With 把

When the thing is already known, 把 brings it before the verb and 给 + person ends the sentence.

了 goes after 给

The verb and 给 work as a unit, so 了 follows 给, not the verb.

• × 他借了给我一百块钱 → 他借给了我一百块钱
• × 我送他给一本书 → 我送给他一本书

给 + person + verb

Before the verb, 给 + person usually means "for" someone: 我给他买了一本书 "I bought a book for him", which doesn't say he has it yet. After the verb, 给 says the thing reached him.

借给 or 跟…借

借 is both "lend" and "borrow"; the direction is in the sentence. 借给 + person is "lend to"; 跟 + person + 借 is "borrow from".
