Hi guys,
Iˋve learnt that "morau" can only be used when the receiver is the 1st person or a member of the speaker's in group. (私は父にカメラをもらった) Same goes for ~てもらう. Then I see the following example in the "dictionary of basic japanese grammar":
ジョンソンさんは鈴木さんに日本語を教えてもらっている
Mr. Johnson has Mr. Suzuki teaching him Japanese.
So, what about "the rule of the 1st person"? How can "morau" be used when it is the 3rd person which is receiving something?
Also, is there a rule or something how to differentiate if ~てもらう means "I am receiving a favor from someone" or "I am making/having someone do something for me"? Thanks!
