I have just been edited my post sentence by someone. The original sentence is like "If he right, would please let me know more and exactly how can I suppose to use that?" And edited sentence is like this "If the answer given to me is right, could someone please let me know more exactly how I can use breakpoints in Makefile?"
I have some question about which one is correct sentence?
1.How can I use that ~ . 2.How I can use that ~ .
I did not get your question fully, but I think you are confused with the structure of a question - How can I Vs. How I can. I'm answering that way.
When asking a question, the pronouns should be followed by an (auxiliary) verb. So, the structure in general is - What/How/Which etc. + verb + pronoun
A simple example is -
What can you do for me?
If you reverse the order, the phrase remains a sentence and not a question.
What you can do for me is unknown.
The latter sentence is not a question.
So, in your case,
How can I use [something]? forms a question
and...
How I can use [something] forms a sentence.
there are two examples to help you learn about this.
"how can i": How can I love myself when I look like this?
"how i can": Can you show me how I can handle this camera?
In your case, it's an indirect question. So, the correct form will be how I can because your question is started with could, so no need to form the second question with how can I in the same sentence.
