You’re walking to a restaurant in Florence, when you see a kindly old lady pushing a shopping cart across the road. She’s having trouble walking, and out of kindness you run over to and try to help her. She pulls a small handbag out of the cart, clubs you over the head with it and calls screams for the police. You can’t blame her. As you take blows to the head, you realise that if you had called out “Let me help you!” before approaching her, she might have realised that you only meant to help, and weren’t a young thief looking to steal something.
Luckily in today’s Italian language lesson, we will be discussing the courtesy forms employed in Italy related to helping people when they perform an ongoing action at the present time. Usually, this type of dialogue is meant to be started by the person who notices his friend in need of assistance, but might also be used to reassure old ladies that you are just trying to help.
