Renaissance is the name given to the civilization, which began in Italy in the 14th century. reached its height in the 15th, and spread to the rest of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. The word means "Rebirth" and refers to the discovery of the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, which was one of the characteristic happenings of the Renaissance. But, in fact, that was only one of the things discovered at that time, for it was a great period of discovery of all kinds of new worlds, new scientific laws, new kinds of art and, above all, new strengths and possibilities of man himself. It would be better to define the word Renaissance as "new birth", and even that would not be quite correct since the Renaissance grew naturally out of the middle ages and was not a sudden occurrence. The Renaissance is the beginning of the modern world. The forms of literature and art which were invented then are still in use today, and the political, economic and religious ideas which govern our lives were first formulated then.

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? |

| Excuse me – I couldn’t help overhearing what you said. | |
| Sorry I broke the cup – I couldn’t help it. |
