You will see that for ～てあげる and ～てくれる sentences, the person who receives the assistance can be marked by particle に, の or を, all depending on the verbs used. This is the most difficult part when using these sentence patterns as many of you always get confused about which particle to use.

To determine which particle to use, you have got to understand the verb involved in the sentence. Most verbs are tied to specific particle.

To help you on this, I will show you about 20 verbs together with some examples. Memorize the formats of all of them if you need to. This will help you determine the correct particle once you see similar verbs.

On the other hand in ～てもらう sentence, the action taker is always marked by the particle に. Therefore you will see only the following pattern for ～てもらう sentence...
