<p><span data-color="#fffd6b" style="--vk-highlighter-color: rgba(255, 253, 107, 0.7);" class="vk_highlighter">Meaning：</span></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A4 ～てくれます</h3>



<p><span data-color="#fffd6b" style="--vk-highlighter-color: rgba(255, 253, 107, 0.7);" class="vk_highlighter">Meaning：</span></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Like て-form もらいます, this expression also shows the receiver’s feeling of gratitude. The difference is that with て-form もらいます, the receiver of the action is the subject of the sentence. With て-form くれます, the person who does the action is the subject. This means the person who does the action (the subject) does the action willingly.</li>

<p><span data-color="#fffd6b" style="--vk-highlighter-color: rgba(255, 253, 107, 0.7);" class="vk_highlighter">Meaning：</span></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>て-form あげます is used when someone does something for another person with kindness.</li>



<li>If the speaker does the action and the listener receives it, this expression may sound patronizing. So, it is better not to use this expression with someone you do not know well or with someone older or higher in status than you. When offering help to someone who is not very close, use ます-form + ましょうか (Lesson 14).</li>
</ul>
