Questions & Answers about Kan ik u helpen met de presentatie?
Why is the formal pronoun u used here, and is it a subject or an object?
In this sentence, u is the object receiving the help (I am helping you). The formal pronoun u is very easy to use because it is exactly the same whether it is the subject or the object! You would use it here to sound polite in a professional setting, like at work.
Why is the verb helpen at the very end of the sentence?
This is because of the modal verb kunnen (can). In Dutch, the conjugated modal verb takes the main spot in the sentence (here, the very first spot because it is a yes/no question: Kan), and it pushes the main action verb (helpen) all the way to the end.
Why is the first word Kan and not Kun?
How do I know to use de presentatie instead of het presentatie?
