Ellos le ayudarán,

Question

To say "They can help you" while pointing to the service desk, should I drop the Ellos pronoun to prospective customers? With ayudarán, Is the emphasis on the last syllable? I know that the dar in ayudar has the emphasis but the addition of the "án" changes it I suppose. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Answer 1

Hi chrysler, nice thread

The pronoun here is mandatory, as you are distinguishing these people from others.

Answer 2

The word 'ayudarán' requires the written accent on the last 'a' where the spoken emphasis.

In words where the spoken emphasis falls on the last syllable like it does in 'ayudarán' and others like 'acción' the general rule says, if the word ends in a 'n' 's' or vowel then there needs to be a written accent.

Answer 3

You are correct. Unless you want to sound like the king of the jungle,you Jane, me Tarzan.

I would use,ellos lo ayudaran,but ellos le ayudaran sounds good also.

I think that the word ayudaran does not need a tilde,but I have my issues with the written accents.
