Hello. Let'due south discuss!
I wonder whether we should use "ing" or infinitive after the verb help.
Like:
ane. Practice yous need whatever help understanding the questions?
- I think we demand a preposition hither. "Practice you need any help in understaning the question?"
Am I right?
2.This really helps me sympathise the contents.
- I call up we cannot say "helps me understanding" here. Merely I don't know why, it simply sounds foreign to me.
Right?
Please annotate and explain.
Thank you!

Yous are correct. Subsequently help, an "ing" verb needs to follow. "He needs help understanding the question."
Or "The country needs help recovering from the storm."
You cannot say, "Do y'all need help in understanding the question?" equally this does not sound right and is non grammatically right.

I concur with Kate. The 'in' is optional; i leans to include it in some cases, to omit it in others.
The thread title raised the infinitive question, and the answer is that "Do you need whatsoever assistance to understand the question?" is quite OK.
Further the thread raised the consequence of the verb 'help', and that answer is that
"I will assistance you understanding the question" is poor. "I will help you lot in understanding the question" might pass. Or, "I will assist you lot in coming to sympathise the question" is swell. A meliorate instance of ing-form afterward the verb 'help' might be "I volition help you in studying the question."
As well, "I will help you to understand the question" is fine, and perchance the infinitive is preferable. And this is the case with "I will aid you come to sympathize the question" --also fine.

Unlike the sentence in the first post, your "assist" is a verb. "Help" (the verb) is followed past the "to" infinitive or by the bare infinitive.
In your sentence, I would use the full infinitive:
It helps y'all to be more alert.
but what'due south the difference between using bare and to?

What about "Sport helps reduce stress"? I'chiliad pretty sure this is ungrammatical and needs the -ing instead. But I can't seem to pinpoint the difference. Perhaps it's because there is no object after assist?
