When you use explain and an indirect object [i.o.], you need to use explain to vs. just explain. Notice the difference when I use explain in this example as a direct object: I explain the book [direct object]. You would not say: I explain the girl/her students[direct object—it is a very, very rare occasion that you would ever use it in that way].
