Pravilna uporaba "help do", "help to do" in "help doing" v angleščini

V angleščini lahko uporabimo tako konstrukcijo »help someone do something« kot konstrukcijo »help someone to do something«. Oblika brez »to« je pogostejša v vsakdanjem govoru kot oblika z »to« (zlasti v ameriški angleščini), vendar se obe obliki pogosto uporabljata pri pisanju:

He helped me move to London. (more common)

He helped me to move to London. (less common when speaking)

Nekateri študenti poskušajo kombinirati obliko s končnico -ing, ki jo najdemo v drugih frazah z glagolom »help«, vendar to žal ni pravilno:

He helped me (to) move to London.

He helped me moving to London.

Obstaja pa en neformalen izraz, v katerem res uporabljamo »help doing«, in sicer »cannot help doing«. Če nekdo »cannot help doing something«, ne more zatreti potrebe, da bi to storil. Na primer:

I can't help thinking about her constantly = Moram nenehno misliti nanjo. Ne morem prenehati misliti nanjo.

Ta idiom pomeni isto kot »cannot help but do« – lahko tudi rečemo »I cannot help but think about her constantly«.

Nekaj drugih primerov pravilne uporabe:
