Questions & Answers about Djeca će ti pomagati sutra ujutro.
Why is the verb pomagati used here instead of pomoći?
This is exactly how verbal aspect works in the future tense! Pomagati is the imperfective verb for "to help." It is used here because the sentence says they "will be helping" (an ongoing, continuous action over a period of time). If they were going to "help" to get a specific task completed, you would use the perfective verb pomoći instead.
Why is "you" translated as ti here instead of te?
In Croatian, the verbs for "to help" (pomagati and pomoći) require the person receiving the help to be in the dative case. Ti is the short dative form of "you," whereas te is the accusative form.
Why are će and ti grouped together right after djeca?
Će (will) and ti (to you) are both enclitics—short, unstressed words that must take the second position in a sentence. They cluster together immediately after the first word (djeca). When you have multiple enclitics, the verb helper (će) comes before the pronoun (ti).
Is ujutro a different word from jutro?
