Lesson: Requesting & Offering Help

Requesting & Offering Help

How to ask for and give assistance.

Offering Help (Asking to help)

Use these phrases when you see someone who needs help.

"Can I help you?" (Very common, especially in shops)
"Do you need any help?"
"How can I help you?" (More formal/business)
"Let me help you with that." (More direct)
"Do you want me to carry that for you?" (Specific offer)

Requesting Help (Asking for help)

Use these phrases when you need assistance.

"Can you help me, please?"
"Could you help me for a second?" (More polite)
"Could you give me a hand with this?" (Informal)
"I need some help, please."

Accepting Help (Saying "Yes")

Use these phrases to accept an offer of help.

"Yes, please. That would be great."
"Thank you, that's very kind of you."
"Yes, please, if you don't mind."

Refusing Help (Saying "No")

Use these phrases to politely refuse an offer.

"No, thank you. I'm fine."
"It's okay, thanks. I can manage."
"No thanks, I'm just looking." (Use this in a shop)

Example Dialogues

See how these phrases are used in conversation.
