you owe me and you owe my [closed]

"owe" is usually a ditransitive verb: somebody owes somebody something.

We can say things like:

  • I owe a lot of money. (Here ,"owe" is monotransitive. In this case, the creditors are not specified.)

When the creditor is specified, then the ditransitive pattern is required:

  • I owe you / the bank a lot of money.
