Others probably need your help in that case. Did you, for instance do you understand why it is that Kant thinks that the question, how are synthetic a priori judgments possible, "a matter of life and death for philosophy" and makes that the central question of the book?
Well, I have only got as far as the Transcendental Aesthetic! So lots further to go yet.
I think he saw this as a "matter of life or death for philosophy" because the philosophers of his day were unable to resolve their differences (Berkeley, Hume) using their notions of analytic and synthetic. So Kant thought if synthetic a priori judgements were possible it might be a way out of that irresolvable conflict and so might save metaphysics from being as useless as Hume thought.
