help

/hɛlp/

When used as a verb, "help" can be followed by another verb with or without the word "to". For example, both "help me do it" and "help me to do it" are correct and mean the same thing. As a noun, "help" is usually uncountable when referring to general assistance. You would say "I need some help," not "I need a help." In emergency situations, shouting "Help!" acts as a shortened request for immediate rescue or assistance.
