Hi teachers,
I am writing a thank-you letter and not quite sure about the sentence below. Your kind suggestion please.
Should it be "I could not make it without your help." or "I could not have made it without your help."
Thank you
More likely to be 'I cannot make it without your help, please give generously;-)I agree that "I could not make it without your help" is possible, but I would think it would more likely be part of an urgent request than as an expression of gratitude.

Thank you, teachers.
Back to my first post, I wanted to express my thanks to someone who had helped me before. Therefore, I think I should use the latter expression, as Curmudgeon suggested.
But thank you, MikeNewYork, for further clarifying the different context in which these two sentences should be used.
