N.B.: Please help me WITH this strange test (a comma is not necessary and pay attention to the preposition used)

Thanks

Thank you for your attention to this test and correcting my mistakes. I found that source and checked my answers.
But I learned this verb with the prepositions 'in' and 'with' : help-помогать, оказывать содействие (в чем-л. - in, with)
we helped them in their work.
Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps not.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!

If you refer to some grammar books written by Russian linguists,it is (as you said) correct. I once used a number of Russsian materials. But now I prefer using the materials written by native English speakers and I recommend you use it too. If you are preparing for the test set by *'DTM' (State Testing Centre) the ''help somebody with something'' structure would be standart, IMHO.

Thanks.

P.S.:*Davlat Test Markazi (if I'm not mistaken) :-)

Hi, Rustamsher!
You are right. I'll try to follow your advice. If it is not a secret, tell me why are you learning English and where do you study ? Your English is very good.

How's your getting along with your study?

Hello!

Perhaps it was a technical problem. What do you mean by "Sorry, I don't get it" in your previous letter.

Thanks in advance. :-)
