Oh, I think I get what you are asking about.
Are you asking about the case (declension) of the possessive pronoun after word "dawać"?
Yes, the pronoun and the noun is always in dative case after "dawać".
So, "daję mojej mamie", "daję twojemu ojcu", "daję ich koledze", "daję waszej córce" etc.

@Bajeczka yup, I know right! But I mean if I can guess which pronoun use based on the verb. In this case, "dawac" is always followed by "mojemu" or "mojej" ?

@Brazylijczykiem_Guy as I said, it depends on a gender. there is not only one pronoun that fits a given verb.

Besides, we rarely use possesive pronouns in this context. much more natural would be: "Dałem jeść psu" or "Dałem mamie". Possesive pronouns are mainly used where it's not obvious that you mean your dog or your mum, and you need to clarify.

"Dawać" doesn't need to be always followed with "mojej/mojemu".
If you want to say "I gave my mom flowers" then you just say "Dałem mamie kwiaty". You don't need to specify that it's YOUR mother. It's obvious by default :)
If it's obvious from the context, that you are talking about your or someone else's "possesion", then you can omit the possessive pronoun (and you should actually, because it would sound weird to say "mojemu" "mojego" "mojej" on and on).

@PopeFrancis yaaa that's what I'm talking about! I was not sure if I could apply this conceit to learn the cases, because memorizing all the rules is impossible. Thank you so much, man.

@Brazylijczykiem_Guy Right, learning all the cases one by one looks like a mad idea :P The key to learn it is to "simply" read and listen to as many sentences as you can. That way you'll gain an intuition and you will not need to remember which verb needs which case.
