learn how to let others know what someone is doing
Η κόρη βοηθάει τους γονίστες με τις δουλειές.
The pattern for letting others know what someone else is doing has three elements.
First, the feminine noun phrase in the nominative, meaning the daughter.
Second, the verb to help in the third-person singular meaning is helping.
Third, a complement that consists of a masculine noun phrase in the accusative and a weak possessive pronoun, plus a prepositional phrase, meaning her parents with the household.
Altogether we have, the daughter is helping her parents with the household.
Start your pattern with a noun phrase in the nominative case as your subject.
Your subject can be as simple as a pronoun, a noun, or name with its article, or it can be omitted altogether if it's understood by the context.
Continue with the verb conjugated in the form that agrees in person and number with your subject, and shows what your subject is doing.
If more details about the action are required, you can add a complement.
The complement can be a noun phrase as the object of the sentence, or an adverbial, a prepositional phrase, etc.
So remember, to let others know what someone is doing, start with a noun phrase in the nominative case as your subject, or omit the subject if it's not necessary.
Continue with the verb in the correct form, and add a complement if more details are required to explain the action.
