☆Word☆

Ikimashita =went いきました
Kare = He かれ
Agemashita = gave あげました
Kirai = doesnt /dont like,hate きらい
Kirai and sukijyanai have the same meaning,but Kirai includes the idea of "hate",so sometimes it's stronger than sukijyanai.

☆Words in the Questions☆

Doko ni ikimashita ka? (Where going?)
Nani wo Agemashita ka? (What did give to ?)
Tarou wa nani wo Ayumi-chan ni Agemashita ka?
(what did Taro give to Ayumi-chan?)

Kawaisouna Taro =(Poor Taro)

☆Grammar ☆

~ ni Ikimashita ni is "At" ( went at/to ).
EX: pool ni ikimashita.( I went to Pool) Umi ni ikimashita. (I went to the Sea.)

(Watashi wa)~ wo mimashita.
EX: (Watashi wa) Taro wo mimashita. (I looked at Taro.)
Taro wa Ayumichan wo mimashita. (Taro looked at Ayumi-chan)

~wo.... ni agemashita and ....ni ~wo Agemashita is same.
"Somebody ni something wo Agemashita"means (I give/ gave something to somebody.)

(watashi wa)~ga Kiraidesu.

EX: "(Watasi wa)Kare ga kiraidesu" means I dont like him.
(watashi wa) Chocolate ga kiraidesu. I dont like chocolate.
"AJ wa Taro ga kiraidesu" means AJ doesnt like Taro.

Japanese often skip the subject word " I " (watashi-wa) in casual conversation. :)

Enjoy!! :)
