Sentence construction: John offer Kate to teach few magic tricks.

[Bulone]

[Mister Micawber]

The above sentence is incorrect. It should read:

John offered to teach Kate a few magic tricks. (for #2)
John offered to teach Kate how to teach a few magic tricks. (for #1)

^^Thanks for your explanation MM.

[Bulone]

I have another question to ask, if you would. I would be appreciated if you can tell me if the following sentence construction is correct.

"It would give me the much needed leverage and skills of ever competitive business environment."

[Mister Micawber]

'Leverage' does not really seem to make sense here. I suggest:

It would give me much-needed skills for our very competitive business environment.
