Getting and Giving Help

Everyone needs help. Everyone can give help. Most people want to help.

Asking for help:

• Can you help me?
• Please help me [fill in].
• I need help with [fill in].
• Help me [fill in].

Offering help:

• I can help you.
• Can I help you?
• How can I help you?
• Do you need help?

And then say:

• Thank you.
• Thanks so much.
• Thank you very much.

But-

"Thanks a lot." can go two ways. It can mean “Thank you very much” or it can mean “Wow, that really was not helpful!”
