L2-GIV-01Level 2 GrammarGiving & Receiving

Using 〜てあげます to do something for someone

Use this when you do a favour for someone else — you are the giver of the action.

verb-て + あげます

Warm-up

Read and notice

  1. ともだち に ほん を よんで あげました。I read a book for my friend.
  2. おかあさん に りょうり を して あげます。I will cook for my mum.

Structure drill

Rebuild the pattern

  1. て-formChange the verb to its て-form.
  2. あげますAdd あげます — you are giving the action outward.
  3. にMark the person receiving the favour with に.

Controlled practice

Use the lesson frames

  1. Rewrite this frame with your own class topic: I read a book for my friend.ともだち に ほん を よんで あげました。
  2. Underline the grammar chunk you must keep unchanged in this pattern, then adapt the rest.おかあさん に りょうり を して あげます。

Comic strip response

  1. Helping a classmateむずかしい もんだい が ありますか。はい。せつめい して あげましょうか。
  2. Family favourおとうと に なにか して あげましたか。はい、しゅくだい を てつだって あげました。

Independent output

Make it your own

  1. Write one sentence about your own life using L2-GIV-01.
  2. Write one sentence linked to class topic work.
  3. Circle the watch-out you need to check most carefully.
    • Do not use てあげます when the person is above you in status — use てさしあげます to be polite.
    • てあげます moves outward — you give the action to someone else.
