Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course. This one’s for upper beginners (JLPT N4)! Can you answer correctly?
[Practice Question]

*これはせんせいがわたしに（＿＿）にほんごのほんです。
1 あげた
2 やった
3 くださった
4 さしあげた

[Answer]
これは先生が私に（3 くださった）日本語の本です。
This is a Japanese book that my teacher gave me.
くださる is the respectful expression(尊敬語 そんけいご) of くれる.
It is used when the giver is someone you respect (e.g., a teacher, boss, or elder).
The receiver of くれる/くださる is always “私”, and it expresses gratitude for the kindness shown to me.
Sentence structure:
[giver] が 私に [object] を くれる [先生(giver)] が 私に [日本語の本(object)] を くださった(respectful, past)My teacher gave me a Japanese book.
先生が私にくださった本
The Japanese book my teacher gave to me.(Noun modification)
Other Choices:
あげた（あげる）
→Used when you give something to someone.
やった（やる）
→A casual form of あげる
さしあげた（さしあげる）
→ A humble form(謙譲語 けんじょうご) of あげる
These three words (あげる, やる, さしあげる) are used when you (or someone in your in-group) are the giver.
You cannot use them when you are the receiver.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
