After watching the explanation clip about grammar , read all the examples !

《Grammar》

31	③「（人）に（もの）をあげます」

③「（人）に（もの）をあげます」(Give something to someone)

When you use a verb that has a meaning of giving, teaching other person stuff or information.There must be a 「に」behind that receiving person.

＊Caution＊
❌　山本（やまもと）さんは　私（わたし）に　プレゼントを　あげます。
Yamamoto gives me a present
(Wrong sentence)

When you use 「あげます」( give ) ,you can not put 「私（わたし）」before the particle「に」.
( In other words, you can not say : ‘someone gives me something’ with 「あげます」 in Japanese )

With the wrong sentence above, you can replace「あげます」with 「くれます」and the sentence will be come a correct sentence.

◯　山本（やまもと）さんは　私（わたし）に　プレゼントを　くれます。
Yamamoto gives me a present.

→(「くれます」 is a grammar structure that you will learn in Lesson２４－１)

１．私（わたし）は　山本（やまもと）さんに　プレゼントを　あげます。
