Do you mean "I got a ball for the doll"?

"I received a ball for the doll" seems to imply that you gave someone the doll and got a ball in echange.

I realise it's a translation of the German and bekommen can mean to get or receive etc. It's just that the English sentences above isn't clear, in my view.

?

>>> "I received a ball for the doll" seems to imply that you gave someone the doll and got a ball in exchange.

This is how I'd understand the German sentence.
