Its stating that the present was coming from A, not that A was the one receiving it. # どうですか? To make a suggestion using a verb, stick たら after a verb, then add どうですか。たら means "try to". This only works if they haven't already tried it, obviously. Use the verb stem, as たら would be a conjugation. - 寝たら、どうですか? -> Try sleeping, what do you think? - 薬をのんだら、どうですか? -> Have you tried drinking medicine? - 休んだら、どうですか? -> Have you tried resting? Sometimes you can cut どうですか、and just end it with たら・だら。 - 今日は学校を休んだら? -> Skipping school today Can also say どう instead of どうですか, makes it more kind/less formal ![image](Images/Media/image%20(14).png) [image](Images/image%20(14).md) LOOK AT THESE KANJI MAN, WE CAN READ EM YEA?
