Questions & Answers about سأحاول أن أساعدك غدا.
Why do we use أن between سأحاول and أساعدك?
In Arabic, when you have a sentence with two verbs like 'I try' and 'I help', you must connect them with أن (an), which acts a lot like the English word 'to'. The verb that comes right after أن is always in the present tense.
How does the word سأحاول mean 'I will try'?
The base present tense verb here is أحاول (I try). By attaching the short prefix سـ (sa-) to the very beginning, you change the verb into the future tense, making it 'I will try'.
Where is the word for 'you' in this sentence?
It is attached directly to the end of the second verb! The suffix ـك (-ka for a male, or -ki for a female) on أساعدك means 'you'. The first part أساعد means 'I help', so together it means 'I help you'.
Does the word أن change the pronunciation of the verb after it?
Yes! If you are reading with full vowel endings, أن forces the present tense verb after it to end in an 'a' sound instead of the usual 'u' sound. So the core verb 'I help' becomes 'usa'ida instead of 'usa'idu before adding the 'you' suffix.
