but be careful because they sound very serious I don't recommend using them for like light casual everyday situations where you need help instead please use one of the other expressions we talked about in this lesson so help is great for emergencies but maybe only for emergencies so yeah in a sentence maybe for example in the kitchen there's that you have a small accident in the kitchen you can shout to your roommate or your family member help me and they'll come running if something to check and see if you're okay I need your help with the next expression is I need your help with blah blah blah the expression I need your help with sounds like you are required for this task I need you maybe you have special knowledge or special experience with this thing or you are better equipped like you can do a better job than I can with this task so I need you for some reason so I need your help preparing this information I need your help reaching that tall glass like that's really what I like I'm short so if I need something up high I might say to a tall person I need your help reaching that glass up there you can use this yes someone is better at doing something than you are you can say I need your help with blah blah blah in this sentence I need your help with this project that's the end so those are ten words and 10 phrases really that you can use to ask for help if you have any other ways you'd like to ask for help or if you have any questions about this video or ways to ask for help please leave it in a comment and let us know about it if you liked this video please make sure to hit the thumbs up button and also subscribe to our channel if you haven't subscribed already thanks very much for watching this episode of top words and we will see you again soon bye
