He is helping me typing my paper.
- A
Help me typing
- B
Help my typing
- C
Helping me to typing
- D
Helping me to type
- E
Not helping me typing
Option c The -ing form emphasises the verb itself. The to-infinitive puts the emphasis more on the preference for, or the results of, the action
Option A is incorrect because 'help' should be followed by the base form of the verb or 'to-infinitive', not a gerund.
Option B is incorrect because it improperly uses a possessive pronoun, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
Option C is incorrect because 'to typing' is not a correct verb form. It should be 'to type'.
Option D is grammatically correct because 'helping' can be followed by 'to' plus the base form of the verb, 'type'.
Option E is incorrect because it improperly combines 'helping' with 'typing' without 'to'. The correct form should be 'to type'.
