der Mann gibt der Frau den Brief.

meansthe man gives the letter to the woman

Click a phrase to move it into or out of the Vorfeld; click its case badge to hand that role to the next phrase.

“der Mann” is in the Vorfeld, so that is what the sentence is about — and the verb still comes second whatever you put there. Note “der Frau”: that is dative feminine, not a nominative masculine, which is the one form that catches everybody.
