***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Hello, Muthu.

(1) I think that grammar books tell us that both are correct after "help."

(a) You may use the "to" if you wish to use it.

(i) Since you are a learner, I strongly suggest that you use the

"to" -- especially in conversation.

***** Thank you for your question *****
