I know that help can be followed either to or bare infinitive.
What I'm wondering now is that whether it can take an gerund as an object.
1) I hope to succeed.
2) I hope succeed.
3) I hope succeeding.
Is sentence 2 grammatical? I actually saw an example of help taking and gerund object
like the below. I also want to know if 4 is grammatical.
4) It helped being able to talk about it.
And what about
5) It helped to be able to talk about it. ?
Thank you.
