スーパーに行ったら、牛乳をかってきてくれる？ Why not Te form for Kureru


> スーパーに行ったら、牛乳をかってきてくれる？

The Bunpro Translation of the above is:

> If you go to the supermarket, could you buy some milk (and come back)? [for
> me]

Since we're asking for a favor (it sounds like we are), then why isn't kureru
in the Te form?




> 牛乳をかってき **てくれる**?

The pattern is `て+くれる`, which is also applicable to verbs such as あげる and やる.

By using くれる, it's implied that the speaker is requesting a favor, so there's
no need to use its て form or to even pair it with ください.
