V-て くれます (V-te kuremasu) — Someone does something for me
An action done toward me.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Adding 「くれます」to the て-form expresses "someone does something for me." The doer is the topic (は), and I, who benefit, am 「私に」. 「てくれます」always moves "from another toward me" — the exact opposite of 「てあげます」.
