〜てくれる？~te kureru?

could you do it for me

Use 〜てくれる？ to ask someone close whether they are willing to do something that helps you.

How it works

You want a friend to check your application form. Look at the picture: who does it, and who receives the help?
The other person acts, and the speaker receives the help. 「くれる」 expresses this direction.
Use the verb’s て-form, such as 確認して or 紹介して, then add 「くれる？」.
「一緒に申し込んでくれる？」 asks whether the other person is willing to sign up with you.
This makes a request or checks someone’s willingness. It does not mean they have already finished helping you.

Use it to ask friends, family, or others close to you, with a rising tone at the end. It is unsuitable for formal settings.
