Hi.

I would like to know your opinion on the use of the verb "help" in these sentences:

1. I helped to the customer solve his inconvinient.
2. I helped to customer solve his inconvinient.
3. I helped customer solve his inconvinient.

Thanks.

Try: I help the customer to solve his problem.
The correct spelling is "inconvenience" , but it doesn't go with "solve".

Say:

I helped the customer solve his problem.

Or:

I help customers solve their problems.

Yes. It's the same structure for the past, present, and future: help somebody to do something

Note that it's also fine if you don't use the to part of the blue verb phrase.
