In summary, the first two sentences are correct and commonly used, while the third sentence is grammatically incorrect.
1. "Can you pass it to me?" - This is the most commonly used and widely accepted form of the sentence. It follows the standard word order of subject-verb-object (You-can pass it-to me).
2. "Can you pass me it?" - Although this sentence is understandable, it is less common in standard English. Some dialects may use this construction more frequently, but in most contexts, it is considered less correct. The preferable word order would be "Can you pass it to me?".
3. "Can you pass it me?" - This sentence has a word order that is common in some non-standard dialects of English, particularly in some regions of the United Kingdom. However, in standard English, it is not grammatically correct. The preferable word order would be "Can you pass it to me?".
Regarding the second set of expressions:
4. "Give this to him." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It follows the standard word order of subject-verb-object (You-give this-to him).
5. "Give him this." - This sentence is also grammatically correct. It follows the standard word order of subject-verb-object (You-give him-this). This form is more commonly used and considered more natural in standard English.
6. "Give this him." - This sentence is not grammatically correct in standard English. The correct word order should be "Give him this."
