Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

「くれます」means someone gives something to me (or to a person close to me). The giver is the topic, marked by 「は」; the receiver is me, marked by 「私に」; and the thing given comes before 「を」. The direction is always "from another toward me" — it is not used when I give to someone else.
