Tho
Dialogue I don't exactly understand what the persons say in this dialogue. Especially the meaning of あげる in this context. 田中さんは加藤さんに何をあげましたか。 京都のお菓子をあげました。 あなたには? 私には焼き物をくれました。 It would be very helpful if someone could translate it for me. Thank you!

Understanding あげる、くれる and もらう is one of the difficult grammar for learners. I think these web pages will help you to understand their basic meaning and use. http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/favors http://www.mlcjapanese.co.jp/learn-japanese/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/baeff136975c36e9404d60497b693dca-1.png Small exercise: http://www.mlcjapanese.co.jp/Download/agemorai-Kana.pdf If you still have questions, please feel free to let us know.
