"주다" have two meanings in it, 1) literally, to give something to someone 2) to do something for someone. 1. 이 국을 데워다가 주시겠어요? "데워 주다" >> "데워다 주다">>"데워다 주세요">>"데워다 주시겠어요?" subject : omitted. >> (xxx 씨) receiver : omitted. >> for me or for someone else Making it a full sentence, "(메기씨) 이 국을 (저를 위해 or someone else 위해) 데워다가 주시겠어요? 2. 꽃을 사다가 주었습니다. The subject can be "I" or "someone else", this sentence needs the context. "subject" and "reciever" are omitted. In the case of the subject is "I", (나는, subject ) (메기씨에게, receiver) 꽃을 사다가 주었습니다. In the case of the subject is not "I" but "someone else" (메개씨는, subject) (나에게, receiver) 꽃을 사다가 주었습니다. 3. 커피를 끓여다가 드리겠습니다. In this sentence the subject is definitely "I" because of "- 겠습니다." (제가) (someone else 에게) 커피를 끊여다가 드리겠습니다. "subject" and "receiver" are also omitted. \^o^/
