JLPT N4

～てくれてありがとう

Thank you for doing

Structure

Verb て-form + くれてありがとう

How it works

This grammar is used to thank someone for a specific action they performed. The 'くれる' part indicates that the action was done for the speaker's benefit.

Examples

手伝ってくれてありがとう。

Thank you for helping me.

Common mistakes

Using ～てもらう or just ～てありがとう, which doesn't explicitly convey the action was for your benefit.

Tip

Remember 'くれる' implies 'giving' or 'doing for me'. So it literally means 'thank you for giving the action of doing X'.
