Questions & Answers about من همیشه به اینکه به شما کمک میکنم افتخار کردهام.
Why do we say be inke instead of just ke for 'that'?
The verb eftekhar kardan (to be proud) requires the preposition be. In English we say proud 'of', but Farsi uses 'be'. Because you cannot attach a preposition directly to the conjunction ke (that), you must insert in (this) as a bridge. This makes be inke, literally meaning 'to this that'.
I see the word be twice in this sentence. What is the second one doing?
The first be belongs to the main verb eftekhar kardan (to be proud of). The second be belongs to the verb komak kardan (to help). In Farsi, you do not just 'help someone', you give help 'to' someone, so it requires the preposition be before shoma (you).
Why is the verb komak mikonam in the indicative present tense rather than the subjunctive?
Even though inke is often followed by the subjunctive for desires or possibilities (like 'I want to...'), here it introduces a concrete fact. You are stating the reality that you actually help them, so the regular indicative present mikonam is used to show a real, ongoing action.
Why is the main verb eftekhar kardeh-am in the present perfect tense?
The adverb hamisheh (always) pairs perfectly with the present perfect tense here. It expresses a state of pride that started in the past and continues unbroken right up to the present moment, translating exactly to 'I have always been proud'.
