✕Common Mistakes
Olá, Innovate Inc., como pode te ajudar?
“Pode” is third‑person singular (you can). The speaker should use “posso” (I can) to keep the sentence self‑referential.
Olá, Innovate Inc., como posso você ajudar?
Using “você” after “posso” creates a redundancy; the correct object pronoun is “te” (informal) or “o/a senhor(a)” (formal).
Olá, Innovate Inc., como posso te ajudas?
After a modal verb like “posso”, the following verb must stay in the infinitive form.

Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, using “te” signals a more informal, friendly tone. If you need a formal register (e.g., with senior executives), replace “te” with “você” or use the third‑person construction: “como posso ajudar o senhor/a senhora?”. Also, remember that “Olá” works for most situations, but “Bom dia/tarde/noite” adds a time‑specific politeness.
