How it's used

The sentence is a favor-giving pattern 〜てあげる: the speaker does something for someone else. 弟に names the receiver, 宿題を names the object taught, and the verb chain 教えて + あげ + ます forms the てあげる construction. ました is the only fragment that can end the sentence — the te-form 教えて and the stem あげ both need what follows them, and 宿題を can only precede its verb.
