Questions & Answers about kuukou de kakariin ni nimotsu o mite moraimashita.

What does 見てもらいました mean grammatically?

Vて + もらう means to receive the favor of someone doing something.

So:

• 見る = to look at, check
• 見て = the -te form of 見る
• もらいました = past polite form of もらう

Together, 見てもらいました means:

• I had someone look at it
• Someone looked at it for me
• I got someone to check it

In this sentence, it implies the speaker benefited from the staff member checking the luggage.

Why is 見て used instead of 見ました?

Because もらう attaches to the -te form of a verb.

The pattern is:

• Verb in -te form + もらう

So:

• 見る → 見て
• 見て + もらいました

You cannot say 見ましたもらいました.
The -te form is required to connect the two verbs.
