No you can't. The correct forms are will be present ed (passive) will present (active) So you can say for example The chairman will present the talk in Cantonese. (active voice) or The talk will be presented in Cantonese (by the chairman).

No you can't.

The correct forms are

will be presented (passive)

will present (active)

So you can say for example

The chairman will present the talk in Cantonese. (active voice)

or

The talk will be presented in Cantonese (by the chairman). (passive voice)

And of course, you can't use "The talk will present in Ca
