Think of it like choosing the right key for a lock. 'お' is for Japanese words. 'ご' is for words from Chinese. Most times, this rule works.

This is like saying "I humbly receive." It is more polite than "te-itadaku." Both are humble ways to get help. "Te-morau" is a plain way to get help. This is also different from "o-V-kudasai." That asks someone to do something. This form focuses on you humbly getting help.

Watch out: Do not use this form for your own actions. You use it when someone else does something for you. This person is usually a superior. For example, '先生にご説明いただく' means 'I will have the teacher explain'. If you do something for someone else, use 'お/ご〜いたします' or '〜させていただきます'. For example, '私がご説明いたします' means 'I will explain'.
