    I hope this app integrates more Kanji bc having 渡しました without the kanji can be very confusing moving forward

      Agree.. like manga in which every kanji has a small hiragana above it.

        I think that's called furigana, and that would be an awesome feature to have

        Any difference about あける and this verb?

          Is the answer wrong? What is ました

            It is from the verb 渡す(わたす), which conjugated to 渡しました. It means (among other things) " to hand over " or "to give".

                  What is with the "watashi" before the verb?

                  Brian seems to have answered that above. I was as confused as you.

                  It's actually a verb, わたしました. But they divided it up.

                      No あげました? It sounds more fluent to me.
