• AはBにプレゼントをあげます

• BはAにプレゼントをもらいます

• B says:「Aさんが、プレゼントを　くれました」

  • This one's weird. 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
