**②Example Dialogues**

So, Today’s grammar topic is **“**Te form +あげます”.

I cited below \[\*1\] sentence and translation from Page 152 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1 Translation & Grammar Notes – English. To make dialogue structure, based on \[\*1\] sentence, I wrote \[\*2\] Question sentence as Person A’s line. I added “\[ \] My grammar interpretation”.

**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**

A: Bさんは　 きむらさん に　なにを　かして(Te)　あげましたか。\[\*2\]

Bsan wa kimurasan ni naniwo kashite agemashitaka。

What did you lend Ms. Kimura?

B: わたしは　 きむらさん に　ほんを　かして　 あげました。\[\*1\]

watashiwa kimurasan ni honwo kashite agemashita。

I lent Ms. Kimura a book. \[\*1\]

\[As for the meaning “Verb Te form + あげます”, I imagined “Subject gives a help to someone through Verb, taking action.”　かします sounds just “to lend”. On the other hand, かして（Teform）＋あげますcontains a nuance “To help someone” or “Although Subject does not have obligation to do, Subject does something for someone in good faith. ” \]

​

**“☆Advanced Example Dialogue”**

A: チンさんはベンさんに何を届（とど）けてあげたんですか。

B: 今日の会議で使う大切な書類（しょるい）を届けてあげたらしいですよ。

ベンさんは、書類を机の上に置きっぱなしで、会社を出て、取り引き先の会社に着いてから、気がついて、チンさんに電話で頼（たの）んだらしいです。

A: 書類は会議が始まる前に、届いたんですか。

B: ぎりぎり届いたらしいですよ。

If you add \[ \] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and correct your sentences more accurately.
