Write down the theme of the following poem (not more than 50 words):-
If you fall to see the person
But only see the disability.
Then who is blind?
If you cannot hear Your brother's
Cry for Justice,
Who is dear?
If you do not communicate
With your sister
But separate her from you
Who is the mentally handicapped?
If you do not stand up
For the rights of all persons.
Who is crippled?
Your attitude
Towards persons with disabilities
May be our biggest handicap.
After help, we can use object + infinitive (with or without to).
Can you help me (to) find my ring? (NOT | |
Thank you so much for helping us (to) repair the car. | |
Our main task is to help the company (to) become profitable. |
Help can also be followed directly by an infinitive without an object.
Would you like to help pack? |
If you say that you cannot/can’t help doing something (especially in British English), you mean that you can’t stop yourself, even if you don’t want to do it.
She’s a selfish woman, but somehow you can’t help liking her. | |
Excuse me – I couldn’t help overhearing what you said. | |
Sorry I broke the cup – I couldn’t help it. |
Can’t help can be followed by but + infinitive (without to), with the same meaning as can’t help verb + ing. This is common in American English.
I can’t help but wonder what I should do next. |
