Yes, I think so. I've only noticed one or two mistakes. The 1st sentence should be "I want you to help my brother to try on all ~~the~~ his clothes". And I'm not sure if this is obligatory, but I think you should write the last one like "Only after trying on the clothes can you say which one is good and which one is not". I would write it like that, though I'm not sure if you actually have to swap the verb with the pronoun in sentences like this one.

Not in all of them.  I think the first sentence doesn't need the "to" in front of the try.  It sounds better if it is like this, "I want you to help my brother try on all the clothes he bought from the clothing center."

So can you or you can?

OK so we need remove to in order to make the sentence sounds natural?

Wonder123So "can you" or "you can"?

In the last sentence, as I said before, I would use "can you". I don't know if you can use "you can" there; I therefore recommend that you use "can you" until new information that it's also correct to use "you can".

Wonder123OK so do we need to remove to in order to make the sentence sound natural?

Yes, I think so. I actually missed that, but, as Lacy10 correctly noticed, we think you should remove the to. The sentence would actually sound slightly odd with it.
