cross / across

[kohyoongliat]

He helped the old man to cross the road.
He helped the old man across the road.

Are both sentences correct?

Thanks in advance.

[Casiopea]

Both are correct. The second one has two emeanings.

Ex: I helped the man across the road.

Meaning #1: I helped the man to cross the road.

Meaning #2: I helped the man do something, and he is on / lives on / works on the other side of the road.
