Hi
I have misunderstanding about such sencence: "It gives me to understand this question". Is it possible to use this kind of construction? Or I have to transform this sample into something like: "That is why I can understand this question", don't I?

With best regards.

Tell me please about correction of this sencence:
"It helps me to understand better another people"
and
Is it possible to say like: "Psychology helps me to understand better another people"?

If they are wrong, tell me please what kind of cases can I use such construction in? Please show some examples.

Ok, but how can I say this one: "It helps me to understand better another people"? where It - is psychology, but I don't repeat this word again in this sentence

"Another people" is wrong regardless of the rest of the sentence. It's "other people" or "another person".

Ok, tell me, please, why
"It gives me to understand this question" is wrong,
but "
It helps me to understand other people better" is good?
What kind of the first verbs are permitted for this construction?
