Questions & Answers about อาสาสมัคร ก็ ได้ บริจาค เงิน ให้ มูลนิธิ ค่ะ
I normally see ได้ placed after a verb to mean "can". Why is it placed before the verb บริจาค (donate) here?
When ได้ comes before a verb, it acts as a past tense marker to emphasize that an action actually happened. Here, it means the volunteers "did donate" or "got to donate". If ได้ was placed after the verb instead, it would mean the volunteers "were able to" donate.
Why does ก็ (also) come before ได้? Can I swap them?
You cannot swap them. In Thai, ก็ (also / then) almost always sits immediately after the subject (อาสาสมัคร) and before any helping verbs or main verbs. Therefore, the strict order must be Subject + ก็ (also) + ได้ (did) + Verb.
Does ให้ mean "give" or "to" in this sentence?
In this sentence, it translates to "to". While ให้ means "to give" when used as a main verb, it often acts as a preposition in sentences like this. It connects the action of the main verb (donating money) to the receiver of that action (มูลนิธิ - the foundation).
There are no plural markers in the Thai sentence. How do we know it translates to "volunteers" and not just one "volunteer"?
Thai nouns like อาสาสมัคร don't change form to become plural. Without a specific number or quantity word attached, it can be translated as singular or plural depending entirely on the wider context of the conversation. "The volunteers" is just the most natural English fit for this specific example.
