1. 5 Ways To Ask for Help in English

1. (To) give (someone) a hand / (To) lend (someone) a hand


This is another really common way to ask for help in English. I use this expression all the
time.
Can you give me a hand for a minute?
Could you lend me a hand?
2. To help someone out
Help me out, help you out, help them out. Help anybody out!
When you're asking someone to do something for you or to help you solve a problem, you
can use this phrasal verb. But you usually need to say who needs the help. So for example,
I need to translate this sentence. Can you help me out?
I'd really like to help you out, but I'll be working on Saturday.
3. (To) help out
It can be with assistance or it can be with money.
Now, all those examples were transitive phrasal verbs. I told you who was receiving the
help. But “help out” can also be intransitive but that's when we know who is being helped
by the context. So let me show you with some examples.
Could you work in the shop next Tuesday? I know that's usually your day off… Sure, I can
help out!
4. (To) do (someone) a favour
A favour. What's a favour? Well it's something that you can do for someone to help them.
And it's not specific but you can ask someone to do you a favour that will help you and the
way to do that is to say, “Could you do me a favour?” or “Can I ask you for a favour?”
5. I could use some help
This expression is quite vague, it's not being specific about what help you need or who you
need the help from. And it's quite useful in a professional context when you might not want
to ask for help but still you would like someone to help you out. You can make this request a
little more direct by saying “I could use your help” instead of “some help”. In this expression
you must use ‘could' as the modal verb. The expression doesn't sound right if you say “I can
use your help”.
6. I could use a hand
You can also use “I could use a hand” in the same way.
I could use a hand, these bags are really heavy!
Paul looks like he could use a hand.

2. About My Family
The family is the littlest social unit of the general public. Families are divided into extended family and
nuclear family. Family members are given below with sample sentences:

1. My mom is 45 years old but she looks very young.


2. Although my father is very angry, he has a heart like sugar and everyone knows it.
3. My sister is starting school today, we are all very excited.
4. The school principal punished him for my brother fighting at school yesterday.

3. English grammar gerund

A gerund is a form of a verb that ends in -ing that is used as a noun. As you may know, a verb is a
word that refers to actions or states of being, and a noun is a word that we use to refer to people,
places, things, and ideas. A gerund is like a blend of verbs and nouns. It looks like a verb, but it acts like a
noun. For example, the word swimming is an example of a gerund. We can use the word swimming in a
sentence as a noun to refer to the act of moving around in water as in Swimming is fun. When used in
sentences, gerunds are treated as third person singular nouns (like he, she, and it).

Examples of gerunds in a sentence

Let’s take a look at some sentences that use gerunds

 Baking is one of my favorite hobbies.


 She loves reading books to the children at the library.
 When it comes to hunting deer, nobody is better than Leroy.
 Katey much prefers playing with kittens to raising them.
 The movie star has a very strenuous fitness routine that involves dieting, jogging, sprinting,
running, and lifting weights.
