Hello I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

Are you here for some help with your English?

Probably.

Well, you're in the right place!

You just need to ask

and there are so

many different ways to ask for help in English.

In this lesson,

I'm going to share some common expressions

and collocations to help you

confidently ask for help in English.

I'll be talking about which

modal verbs you can use when asking for help

and I'll also share

some really common expressions with you.

Like, to give or lend someone a hand,

to help someone out,

to do someone a favour,

or even this one

I could use some help.

All of these expressions will be useful

when asking for help from an native English speaker.

Speaking of helping someone out,

have you heard of the HiNative app?

By using it you can get help

from native English speakers and

help other people out who are learning your

native language.

It's an app that works just like a language exchange

between native speakers of just about any language.

You can ask a question and other native speakers

in the community will help you to answer it.

So you know sometimes you come across

English phrases that you just can't find in a dictionary.

Some random line from a movie or

some weird song lyrics.

HiNative can get you the answers

when a dictionary can't.

So let's say you're Spanish and

you heard some words in an English song that you just

don't really understand.

I'll be loungin' on the couch just chillin' in my Snuggie.

It's like having a native English-speaking friend

that you can ask for help at any time!

You type your question and a native English speaker

will write back to you,

usually in just a couple of minutes.

You can even upload a voice recording to get feedback

on your pronunciation.

Chilling means relax.

A Snuggie is a brand of super comfortable clothing,

a little bit like a blanket.

So chillin' in my Snuggie means

to relax whilst wearing my Snuggie.

Cool!

When other people learning your native language

have questions, then you can help them out too!

It's so cool! It's free to download

and it works on any smartphone!

Getting help from native English speakers is a

piece of cake with HiNative!

So when you need help, how can you ask for it?

Well let's start with the basics.

There are a few modal verbs that are really helpful

when asking for help.

Can,

"can you help me?"

which means are you able to help?

Could,

"could you help me?"

which means is it possible for you to help?

Or would, "would you help me?"

which means are you willing to help?

Other modal verbs are possible too but these three

are the most common ones when asking for help.

If you need to be really polite when asking for help

like when you're talking to a colleague

or your boss or a customer for example,

it's a good idea to include "would you mind"

Would you mind helping me?

Notice how the verb form following

changes when you're using "would you mind".

The main verb is always in the -ing form.

So these modal verbs are often used to request for help.

But what about some of the other expressions that

I mentioned at the start of this video?

To give someone a hand or to lend someone a hand.

This is another really common way

to ask for help in English.

I use this expression all the time.

Can you give me a hand for a minute?

Could you lend me a hand?

It's a casual, relaxed way to ask for help.

Usually it's used when what you're asking

doesn't require a huge amount of effort

from the person that you're asking for help.

Here are some more examples in different contexts

with different tenses.

Can you give me a hand with these shopping bags?

They're really heavy!

My mum really needs someone

to give her a hand in the shop on Thursday.

Thanks so much for giving us a hand yesterday!

My brother gave me a hand moving furniture

into the new apartment.

It was so hot! I wish you had given me a hand.

See how the verb form changes with these expressions

when the tense changes.

Mum needs someone to give her a hand.

Thanks so much for giving us a hand.

My brother gave me a hand.

I wish you had given me a hand.

To help someone out.

Help me out, help you out, help them out.

Help anybody out!

When you're asking someone to do something for you

or to help you solve a problem,

you can use this phrasal verb.

But you usually need to say who needs the help.

So for example,

I need to translate this sentence. Can you help me out?

I'd really like to help you out,

but I'll be working on Saturday.

John always helps his neighbours out.

His parents helped him out

when he bought his first house.

And in this context, this means

that they gave him money.

To help out, it can be with assistance

or it can be with money.

Now, all those examples were transitive phrasal verbs.

I told you who was receiving the help.

But "help out" can also be intransitive

but that's when we know who is being helped

by the context.

So let me show you with some examples.

Could you work in the shop next Tuesday?

I know that's usually your day off...

Sure, I can help out!

It's clear what I'm going to help out with.

I know you've got lots on at the moment.

Would you like the kids to help out tomorrow?

Now if you want, you can add 'with'

to say what help you need.

So the structure is to help out with something

or to help somebody out with something.

Can you help me out with this question?

My brothers and I are lucky my mum and dad

usually help us out with money if we really need it.

Okay here's an interesting expression that will

allow you to ask for help.

I wonder if you've heard of it.

To do someone a favour.

A favour.

What's a favour?

Well it's something that you can do for someone

to help them.

And it's not specific but you can ask someone to do

you a favour.

You can ask them to do something for you

that will help you

and the way to do that is to say,

"Could you do me a favour?"

or "Can I ask you for a favour?"

Now when you're asking for help,

these are great expressions to use.

Once you've asked someone for a favour, you can also

owe someone a favour.

I owe you a favour.

So if you've helped me in the past

and I want to help you,

to show you how much I appreciate it,

then I can use this expression "I owe you a favour"

It's my turn to do something for you.

In fact, you can say "let me return the favour"

when you want to do something

for the person who previously helped you.

The person who helped you in the past.

You can say "I want to return the favour"

When talking about favours,

you need to remember that this is a countable noun.

So you need to include 'a' when you're

talking about a single favour.

You also need to remember these collocations.

These are the words that you'll often hear and see

used with favour.

To do someone a favour.

To ask someone a favour.

To owe someone a favour.

And to return a favour or return the favour.

For example, he really did me a favour

by introducing me to Terry.

John keeps asking me for favours, and I've had enough!

My sister owes you a favour!

She returned the favour last week,

she took me to a football game!

You know what? I could use some help.

This expression is quite vague,

it's not being specific about what help you need

or who you need the help from.

And it's quite useful in a professional context

when you might not want to ask for help

but still you would like someone to help you out.

You can make this request a little more direct

by saying "I could use your help"

instead of "some help".

In this expression you must use 'could'

as the modal verb.

the expression doesn't sound right if you say

"I can use your help"

I could use your help moving this furniture.

I could use your help with dinner.

You can also use "I could use a hand" in the same way.

I could use a hand, these bags are really heavy!

Paul looks like he could use a hand.

So there you have it!

Five ways to ask for help in English naturally.

Now idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs

like the examples in this lesson are a little tricky

but try to focus on these ones this week.

Ask for help from as many people as you can and offer

your help to others too! It will be great practice.

As an extra bonus I'll share an interesting expression

with you about help.

Have you ever heard anyone say

"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!"

It's used when two people both do something

to help the other,

so that they're both being helped.

They're both benefiting.

The HiNative app is a perfect example of this.

When you help from a native English speaker,

you can return the favour by helping them to

understand an expression in your native language.

Everybody wins!

(LUXURY) WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS 2017🎄| Yuyi Chua - Duration: 5:05.

Hey guys

Just needed to pop in and say that my iPhone decided to

Subtly malfunction while I was filming so I didn't notice any audio problems until after and it basically sounded like this

Yeah, so I managed to remove the static but my voice still sounds pretty

Weird. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope that you guys will still enjoy the video

All right it's a little chilly so ima put on my pj's

Hello! What's up, it's ya girl Yuyi

Welcome back to my channel and Merry Christmas!

Today's video is going to be a casual we're talkin, we're hangin, I'm showing you what I got for Christmas

I feel like I haven't done one of these in so long, like

my move-in vlog that I just posted I filmed during UCLA's move-in day which was a bit ago

and college, well UCLA's great

but college just leaves so little time for rest and relaxation

that I'm just SO thankful to be finally home for the holidays

and to be filming this for you guys

and I'll try to post whenever I can

because I really do put a lot of time and effort into my videos

and I only want to produce the best quality content for you guys

if you're new to my channel, hello, it's nice to meet you!

thank you so much for watching

okay, I've seen nearly every youtuber in these types of videos

put up a disclaimer about how they're not bragging and stuff

I really don't feel like it's necessary in this video

because you guys know me

you guys know I'm not trying to brag

these videos are just super highly requested during the holiday season

and I love watching what other people got, and I'm assuming you do too because ya clicked on this video!

so that's what we're doing today

I didn't really ask for anything this Christmas

so this stuff is kinda unexpected

my family's really sweet so thank you guys

and Santa, shoutout to you

So the first thing was a really early Christmas present

and it's this grey handbag from Michael Kors

it's amazing, it's soso beautiful, and it's mini

i don't know if you can see --

Here - if I were standing it'd be like this - it's really little

Plain and simple, just the way I like it so it goes with pretty much anything

and the fluff

oh my gosh the fluff

can we just

take a second to appreciate this

the fluff is everything

We back! I treated myself to the Naked Heat Palette

Merry Christmas to me, right?

I've dropped this quite a few times so let's hope that it's still intact

the packaging is so nice

yay i didn't break it

this has been raved about by so many YouTubers since it came out in the summer

and I can see why

first of all, the colors are gorgeous

They got "en fuego"

fuego is what I'd use to describe this

It's like very orangey-brown warm-toned

Perfect for the summer and fall but you know ima be rocking this during the winter too.

Now this is super exciting, it's the iPhone X

with a great amount of storage

But it is for my mom

But I'm including it in this video because it's gonna be mine in two? three years?

So I'm just gonna consider this a very early screening/preview of Christmas 2019

I currently have the iPhone 6 which I'm using to film this video and all my videos

Which is why the quality may not be up to par with all the huge YouTubers we all watch

and it blacks out sometimes

So I'm excited

And then I got a Nordstrom gift card

It's in this cute little ornament shape with an actual string

I'm very happy with this

Nordstrom B.P. has some super cute stuff in the spring so this will be useful

And that I believe is everything I got for Christmas this year

It wasn't the craziest Christmas haul you'll see but I'm so grateful for everything I got

So sweet of them

I hope you're all enjoying the holidays with your family or friends

or whoever or whatever you love

whether that be your dog, plant, bush

chips

food, ya feel me?

*giraffe noises*

Because honestly what matters is love and family and eating some really good food

Not the presents or the objects, that stuff's just the lil cherry on top

Don't forgot to give this vid a thumbs up if you enjoyed it

and subscribe if you'd like to see more of me

It would mean so much to have you join our family

I trust that you know where the subscribe button is

Instagram's actually the best way to keep up with me when life gets super busy

So I'll have all my social media linked below

Do whatever you want to I know that's what you guys do anyways

and go spend time with you family or go outside, it's beautiful

All right, I love you guys soso much

and I will see you in my next video

in my next video

Yuyi out
