Answer

He's right ,给 be used as prep 介词，and  there's no double verbs.

Answer

FIrst , I will translate this sentence for you " my dad will explain it for me". The grammar structure is n.+v.+n.  The word "给" means "to" , "讲" means "explain or tell".
I hope it will be helpful.

Answer

Thank you, Dawei. I will study the material you recommended me.

Answer

In the youtube video that I recommended, the teacher says complement is used behind the "VERB." but what he means is PREDICATE can be a verb and an object.

Answer

In Chinese, some verbs cannot take an object
So the normal S + V + O cannot be used with every verb because some verbs require a preposition to link the V + O.

And the character (听) explains the results of what 爸爸 said. Dad spoke and the son or daughter heard ...
Watch this youtube video that explains complements ...
