I guess it is 渡します (わた+します), yet I was confused by the term わたし which means "me"

This is why I hate that duolingo doesn't use kanji.

Kanji is unbelievably useful. Some would be a bit much for newbies. However, in cases like this, they should be extra careful. 私 is such a common kanji. That could easily have been incorporated. Or at least split it as わた + します. Etc. But maybe it was intentional. More memorable this way. Lol

Yes, at first kanji is a bit much, but I think after introducing it in gradual steps like they have, they should just keep using it from that point on. I have forgotten a LOT of the kanji that i had previously learned because they don't keep using it. Kind of frustrating.

It is the non-past polite form conjugation of 渡す, which is to hand over.

normally we say 宿題(しゅくだい)を出(だ)す for submitting homework

Can someone explain what わたします means?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/V2Blast

It's the ます form of わたす (which has a few related meanings, but here it means "to hand over/in" or "to give").

to pass over

Great. Give the correct answer with the kanji but don't show the kanji as a rollover >.>
