Are these correct or not ?

[Gorkem Atay]

Are these sentences below grammatically correct ?


1. The reason why i came here is to see you.

2. The reason why i asked this question is whether you know the answer.


Thanks for your helps.

You must always capitalise 'I'.

A better title would have been The reason why.

Well, we don't do homework here. But, what do you think? (If you insist on thanking me, say: Thanks for your help. The word help is not normally pluralized.)

 

[Tarheel]

Well, Rover gave some good advice.

It's generally bad style to use both "the reason" and "why" together.

Being able to see you is the whole reason we came.
Being able to see you is why we came.
The reason we came is to see you.

#2 is not grammatical.

 

[Tarheel]

#2 is not grammatical.

IMO, it's not only not grammatical, it's not even English.

 

[Barb_D]

IMO, it's not only not grammatical, it's not even English.

Tarheel, welcome to the forums.
Please note in your posts that you are not a teacher.

People learning English make many grammatical mistakes. It's not very encouraging for them to be told that their efforts are "not even English." Clearly, it is English. It just has some problems.

 

[Tarheel]

I am not a professional teacher. (I have always made that clear.)

 

[Gorkem Atay]

So, is it correct now?

The reason I asked this question is to understand whether you know the answer.

 

[Barb_D]

Yes.
You can also simply say "I asked this question to see whether you knew the answer."

 

[Rover_KE]

I am not a professional teacher. (I have always made that clear.)

No, you haven't.

If you are not a teacher, you will need to state that clearly in your post.
