I can see that someone got mad or someone made someone else mad. The things that make it difficult are に and the られる form of 怒る. What does this mean? How do you figure out who did what in these types of sentences?
Answer
It may first bear mentioning that 怒られる is usually used specifically to mean "got scolded by", rather than "to became the focus of someone's anger".
This may make it easier to understand.
- Aは怒った : A got angry
- AはBに怒った : A got angry at B (in this usage, B is usually not a person, but rather an event or state of affairs).
- AはBを怒った : A scolded B (B is a person)
- BはAに怒られた : B got scolded by A.
