Help means making it easier for someone to do something.
The idea
Say help me, help with homework, or help me carry the box. After a person, an infinitive can appear with or without to: help me to carry.
Examples
- Can you help me?
- She helps her neighbour with the bags.
- I help my friend carry the box.
- We helped them find the station.
- He is helping his child with homework.
- They help at the food bank.
