Questions & Answers about Min far hjælper dig i haven i marts og april.
Why aren't marts and april capitalized?
In Danish, months of the year, days of the week, and seasons are written with lowercase letters, unlike in English.
What preposition do we use with months?
You use the preposition i, which translates directly to the English word "in". So "in March" is simply i marts.
Why is the word for garden written as haven here?
The base word have means "garden", but the sentence says "the garden". Danish adds an ending to the noun instead of using a separate word for "the". Because have is an en-word that already ends in an e, we just add -n to make haven.
Why use dig instead of du for "you"?
dig is the object form of "you". It is used here because you are the person receiving the help. If you were the one doing the helping, you would use the subject form du.
Can hjælper mean both "helps" and "is helping"?
Yes! Danish does not have a continuous tense like English does. The single present tense verb hjælper covers both "helps" as a routine and "is helping" right now.
