"help" me to do my homework

My brother usually tutors me and explains to me how to do the homework and I am the one who actually does it. Can I say

My brother usually helps me (to) do my homework.

Does this sentence imply that my brother is the person who does the homework? If so, how should I express the idea?

• verb-pattern

• Yes, your sentence is the correct way to say it. (If your brother does your homework alone, but the teacher expect you to do it, then you would say: "My brother does my homework for me".) –  brainchild Commented Jul 19, 2020 at 6:46
• I'd say that "... helps me with my homework" is more common (especially if you're the primary person doing the work), but there's nothing wrong with your sentence –  Canadian Yankee Commented Jul 20, 2020 at 0:10

The sentence means that you do your homework, and your brother supports and guides you. There is nothing wrong with the sentence.

Of course, just saying something doesn't make it true. The student might be lying. Sentences like this might be used euphemistically notice the scare quotes in the example below.

I got 10/10 on the calculus homework, but my brother is an MSc in maths and he, you know, "helped" me. I don't understand calculus at all!

“Help Do” vs. “Help to Do” vs. “Help Doing” – Navigating the Nuances

English is a language rich in nuances, particularly when it comes to verb patterns. The verb “help” can be followed by another verb in different forms, leading to the expressions “help do,” “help to do,” and “help doing.”

While they can sometimes be used interchangeably, there are subtle differences in their usage. This article will guide you through understanding when and how to use each form correctly.

Quick Summary

“Help do” and “help to do” are often used interchangeably, with “to” being optional in many cases. “Help doing” is less common and can imply an ongoing action or support with a task that is already in progress.

“Help Do” vs. “Help to Do” vs. “Help Doing” – Which is Correct?

The choice between these forms depends on the context and the specific meaning you wish to convey:

How to Use “Help Do”

“Help do” is a construction where “help” is followed directly by a bare infinitive (a verb without “to”). It is widely used in American English. Here’s how to use “Help do”:

“I’ll help you do the dishes after dinner.”

“He helped me do the research for my paper.”

How to Use “Help to Do”

“Help to do” follows the pattern where “help” is followed by a full infinitive (the verb with “to”). Although it is more common in British English, it is also acceptable in American English. Here’s how to use “Help to do”:

“My brother helped me to fix my bike.”

“The tutorial video helped me to understand calculus.”

How to Use “Help Doing”

“Help doing” involves the use of “help” with a present participle (the -ing form of a verb). This form can suggest an ongoing action or continuous assistance. Here’s how to use “Help doing”:

“Can you help me with doing my taxes?”

“The assistant is there to help with doing the inventory.”

Practice Exercises

Choose the correct form to complete the sentences:

• Could you help me _ (do/to do/doing) my math assignment?
• I need help _ (do/to do/doing) this crossword puzzle; it’s really tough.
• The nurse is helping the patient _ (do/to do/doing) the exercises prescribed by the doctor.
• Our parents helped us _ (do/to do/doing) the preparations for the party.
• A study group can help you _ (do/to do/doing) better in your exams.

Answer Key:

• to do/doing

Whether you choose “help do,” “help to do,” or “help doing” can depend on regional preferences or the specific context of the sentence. While “help do” and “help to do” are often interchangeable, “help doing” can imply a different aspect of assistance.

By mastering these variations, you can refine your English expression and ensure your meaning is conveyed with clarity and precision.

How to Finish Your Homework

While studying can differ for different age groups, many of the things that get in the way are the same. Whether it's your environment or time management skills, it easy for things to discourage you from finishing your homework. With a little organization and help, your homework can become approachable.

Managing Your Time

• For instance, try setting aside a time you know you can work well such as an hour or 2 before dinner, or if you're a night owl, after dinner.

• Work in hour blocks, with 50 minutes spent studying and 10 minutes spent taking a break.
• It can also be helpful to move around when you are taking your break, especially if you are working at a screen. Go for a walk outside to get your blood circulating and enjoy some fresh air.
• You might also want to eat a healthy snack on your break to improve your focus. Avoid junk food and choose something like a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, veggies, or a small portion of cottage cheese.

• Identify which assignments are worth the most points for each class. Most likely these will take the longest to complete. [5] X Research source
• Consider how long you have to do each project, and if possible, see when the assignment is introduced. Oftentimes, primary and secondary school classes do not have syllabi, so it might be harder to plan out an entire term, but if you are in college, you will most likely have a syllabus with at least a partial course schedule. Knowing how long you have to complete an assignment will help you prioritize which assignments to do first. You can also ask the teacher how long you have to complete an assignment. [6] X Research source

• Use highlighters or stickers to mark which assignments are most important.
• If you're using an online or mobile schedule, create alerts or notifications for the projects and any time-sensitive steps for those projects.

• Don't let a big project overshadow the smaller assignments you need to complete!

• Assignment outlines can help you visualize the necessary tasks to get the assignment done.

Creating a Productive Work Environment

• A desk or table would be a better location than a couch or a bed.

• Turn your phone off or on silent (not vibrate). It might be best to put the phone out of sight, or in another room while you work, as the temptation to text or get on social media can be as much of a distraction as actually using social media.
• Use an app that blocks social media. There are plenty of applications out there that can help block social media and other distracting sites (such as shopping or gaming sites). [10] X Trustworthy Source Pew Research Center Nonpartisan thinktank conducting research and providing information on public opinion, demographic trends, and social trends Go to source

• Use a white noise app to block out noise.
• Use earplugs or noise-blocking earmuffs. [12] X Research source
• Work in a quiet place, such as a library or a home office, if you have one.
• Avoid listening to music while studying. Studies have shown that although listening to music while studying lowers overall performance, this does not affect everyone equally. [13] X Research source However listening to music before studying has been shown to improve performance on cognitive tasks. [14] X Research source

Using Your Resources

• If you're too afraid to ask a teacher during class, see if you can stay behind to ask your questions.

• First, contact your school to see if there are any after-school tutoring programs. While not all primary and secondary schools offer tutoring, a vast majority of universities do. If your school does not offer tutoring, they may know of other resources for you to contact.
• Then, contact your library to see if they offer any tutoring. [18] X Research source
• In some areas, there may also be free community tutoring programs. Contact your local community center for more information.
• There are plenty of private tutors out there as well, but they can be costly (ranging from $20 to $100 an hour). [19] X Research source You can find tutors online through a number of websites, such as Craigslist or Angie's list.

• If you need to work at a library after school, ask your parents or search the web to find your local library.

“Help Do” vs. “Help To Do” vs. “Help Doing” Something – Which is Correct?

Marcus Froland

March 28, 2024

Have you ever found yourself scratching your head over the right way to ask for help in English? It’s like standing at a crossroads with three different signs, each pointing down a path labeled “Help do,” “Help to do,” and “Help doing.” It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin. You’re not alone if you’ve ever paused mid-sentence, wondering which phrase to use.

English can be tricky, with its rules that sometimes feel more like guidelines. And when it comes to asking for help or offering it, the waters get even murkier. But what if I told you that one of these paths leads to a clearer understanding, while the others might not be as daunting as they seem? The trick is knowing when to use each one. So, let’s clear up the confusion once and for all, but you’ll have to stick around to find out the answer.

In English, “help do,” “help to do,” and “help doing” are all correct but used in slightly different ways. “Help do” is the most direct form, often used in everyday speech for immediate actions. For example, “Can you help me carry this?” “Help to do” is slightly more formal and can feel a bit more polished; it’s common in written English. An example would be, “She helped me to complete the project.” Lastly, “help doing” suggests assistance with an ongoing action or habit. An instance of this could be, “He helps me doing my homework every night.” Each form has its place depending on the context and the nuance you want to convey.

Introduction to Common English Phrases and Their Correct Usage

When you’re looking to express your knack for English phrases professionally or in everyday conversation, it’s crucial to master grammar rules and intricacies, including the use of verb usage . In fact, such details can be the difference between sounding like a non-native speaker and a savvy linguist. “Help do,” “help to do,” and “help doing” are phrases that often lead to errors in verb patterns if not used correctly.

Here’s a quick guide to help you navigate through these common phrases, ensuring your grammar usage remains impeccable:

“Help do” and “help to do” both signal assistance and are interchangeable, with the former often preferred in casual American English . However, do not mistake these for “help doing,” which is not used in the same context.

Let’s look at how these phrases can subtly shift the meaning of a sentence and understand why you should say “help me move to London” rather than “help me moving to London.” Recognizing these differences is essential for effective communication and is a cornerstone of English grammar rules .

• “Help do” often denotes a more active form of involvement and is generally preferred in American English .
• “Help to do” is also correct and might be used interchangeably with “help do,” though it tends to appear more frequently in formal writing.
• “Cannot help doing” is an idiomatic phrase meaning the action is a compulsion, something one cannot stop themselves from doing.

In terms of daily verb usage , some situations demand precision. Let’s parse through an example that illustrates these subtle yet significant differences:

It’s fundamental to note that “help doing” is not recommended outside the phrase “cannot help doing” where it turns into a matter of compulsion rather than assistance. So, whether you’re crafting a compelling narrative, engaging in a conversation, or prepping for an English proficiency test, remember that these grammar rules are your secret weapon for clear and correct communication.

Understanding the Basics: “Help Do” versus “Help To Do”

As someone exploring the depths of American English , you might have encountered various verb patterns and were likely faced with the dilemma of choosing the appropriate way to express assistance in an action. Specifically, navigating between “help do” and “help to do” can be perplexing. To shine a light on grammar preferences , it’s important to dissect the usage of these phrases and understand their subtle differences.

The Preference for ‘Help Do’ in American English

In the realm of American English , the phrase “help do” stands out for its streamlined and direct approach. Linguistic trends point to a clear preference for dropping the ‘to’ in daily conversation, making “help do” a staple in the language pattern of many Americans. The use of the infinitive without ‘to’ is emblematic of the casual tone that defines American English.

“They often say ‘help me fix this’ rather than ‘help me to fix this,’ which bears witness to the language’s evolution towards a more colloquial form.”

Formal Writing and the Acceptance of ‘Help To Do’

Turning to formal writing , the ground of English grammar rules remains fertile for both “help do” and “help to do”. These verb forms are used interchangeably, each finding their place in business correspondence, academic papers, and polished prose. The presence of “to” in “help to do” does not signal a grammatical misstep; instead, it embodies the formality and nuanced expression expected in formal contexts.

This fundamental grasp of “Help Do” versus “Help To Do” showcases the flexibility inherent in English, allowing you to toggle between conversational ease and formal exactitude with confidence. Remember, mastering these nuances foregrounds you as a proficient user of American English , capable of crafting sentences that resonate accurately with the context at hand, whether you’re chatting with friends or drafting an important document.

“Help Doing” Something – Explaining the Common Misconception

Have you ever found yourself saying “help doing” when offering assistance? You’re not alone. This common slip-up is a perfect example of Misconceptions in grammar that many English speakers encounter. It’s essential to realize that “help doing” isn’t used in the same way as “help do” or “help to do”. The phrase “help doing” is an incorrect usage when intended to mean ‘assist’ or ‘make something easier’. The form that should actually be used is “cannot help doing something,” which carries a completely different implication.

Imagine trying to refrain from laughing at a particularly funny joke. You’re likely to say, “I can’t help laughing,” signifying that it’s an involuntary reaction, not an act of assistance.

Let’s dispel this widespread grammar myth by contrasting the correct and incorrect uses of “help doing,” bolstering your understanding of this linguistic nuance:

In cases where you genuinely mean to help someone, opt for “help do” or “help to do”. Save “help doing” for those instances where you’re expressing an uncontrollable action—something you cannot help doing . Simplifying this concept can arm you with the precision needed to navigate English grammar confidently.

To further illustrate, consider the phrase “cannot help but do something” as a synonym. This brings clarity to the fact that it’s about a personal compulsion, not about offering a helping hand:

• I cannot help but laugh when I see that comedian.
• He cannot help but worry about the safety of his kids when they’re out late.
• The dog could not help but chase the squirrel across the yard.

Remember, mastering these distinctions goes a long way in ensuring your spoken and written English reflects your true intent. By learning to differentiate between “help doing” and its correct counterparts, you’re polishing your grammar skills while avoiding common pitfalls. So the next time you’re about to offer a helping hand or describe an inevitable action, take a moment to choose the right phrase—it can make all the difference in conveying your message with clarity and accuracy.

The Auxiliary Verb “Help” and Its Companions

As you navigate the intricacies of English grammar, it’s imperative to understand the relationship between auxiliary verbs and their complementing verb forms. The verb “help” is particularly versatile, accommodating both the infinitive with and without “to.” However, a common error arises when pairing “help” with a gerund (-ing form). The resulting phrases “help to do” and “help do” are grammatically correct, while “help doing” is incorrect outside of very specific idiomatic expressions. Let’s explore the correct use of these structures, ensuring your grammar guidance compass points true north.

Guidance on Grammatically Correct Structures with “Help”

For clarity in communication, the verb “help” should always precede an infinitive verb form , with the optional inclusion of “to.” Utilizing an infinitive immediately after “help” conveys a clear, direct action, whether assistance or facilitation is being offered. Here is the essential mantra for proper sentence structure with “help”:

“Help do” and “help to do” are both grammatically sound, yet “help doing” strays from the norm and is deemed incorrect in this context.

To illustrate, consider the following examples:

• You might say, “Please help do the laundry,” not “Please help doing the laundry.”
• Similarly, “Can you help to carry this?” is acceptable, whereas “Can you help carrying this?” is not.

The Role of Infinitive and Gerund Forms Following “Help”

Understanding the distinction between infinitive and gerund forms is a cornerstone of English verb forms mastery. While the English language enjoys flexibility, it adheres to a rule when it concerns the verb “help”: use the infinitive. Whether you decide to express assistance with or without the “to” is mostly a matter of style or regional preference, but shunning the -ing form maintains grammatical integrity.

The following table demonstrates the acceptable forms to follow “help”:

When the context shifts to depicting an uncontrollable urge, “help doing” becomes grammatically sound within the set phrase cannot help followed by a gerund. For example, “I cannot help thinking about that song”—a completely different scenario signifying compulsion, not aid or assistance.

Remember to incorporate the number 6 into your verbal toolbox, as this numeral aligns with the idea that there are multiple (more than five) ways to express assistance with “help,” but only a select few are correct.

Your grasp on the correct sentence structure will strengthen as you continue to apply these grammar rules . Commit them to memory and, with a bit of practice, you can count yourself among those who offer both help and correct English usage with ease.

Exclusive Use Cases: When “Help Doing” Is Actually Correct

When discussing the intricacies of English, pinpointing the grammatical exceptions in common parlance is crucial. There’s been much debate around “help doing” and its correctness within the English language. However, its proper usage is quite specific and, when used correctly, serves an important role in expressing feelings or involuntary reactions. This is where the phrase “cannot help doing something” finds its correct and exclusive application, equating to the meaning “cannot help but do something.”

Understanding when and how to use “help doing” correctly will ensure that your English is not only idiomatic but also exhibits a mastery of subtle nuances. Here’s a closer look at these special instances, standing apart as the grammatical exceptions in the otherwise standardized rules of English:

It’s important to note that “help doing” should not be used interchangeably with “help do” or “help to do” when offering assistance, as it is a grammatical exception reserved for situations beyond one’s control. For example:

“While you can ‘help to complete’ a task or ‘help complete it’, you would only use ‘help doing’ in a context where ‘doing’ is compelled upon you, as in ‘can’t help doing’.”

Now let’s explore, through nuanced examples, the exceptional and correct instances of “help doing” in everyday expression:

• When a habit is hard to break, you might confess, “I can’t help doing it.”
• In moments of nostalgia, you may admit, “I can’t help but reminiscing about our childhood.”
• And in instances of natural reaction, you’d say, “He can’t help but smiling whenever he sees her.”

In these contexts, “help doing” works perfectly because these are situations where the impulse to act is irresistible—grammatically speaking, the action is not being helped, but rather it’s an irresistible compulsion on your part, clearly demonstrating the nuanced yet proper usage of “help doing.”

Grasping these exceptions expands your appreciation for the richness of English and enhances your ability to convey thoughts and emotions with precision. You become cognizant of the times when this form is appropriately employed, thereby avoiding missteps in communication. It’s not just about linguistic accuracy; it’s about expressing the human experience with fidelity.

Examples and Media References Depicting Correct Usage

If you’re looking to hone your mastery of the English language, paying attention to real-world examples and correct usage in media can be incredibly insightful. Media outlets with their formal editorial standards provide many living examples of proper grammar in action. Let’s explore how “help do” and “help to do” are correctly used across various platforms, from journalistic writing to personal stories, anchoring our understanding in practical, real-world usage.

Firstly, consider how journalists and reporters use these phrases in news articles to convey actions with precision and clarity:

“Zarrab said that he helped move ‘a few billion euros’ from Halkbank accounts for the Iranians, under the disguise of gold transactions.” — The Washington Post (2017)

“President Jin Liqun says the bank’s lending will help to cut the debt burden of borrowing countries, with membership having grown to 102 in four years.” — South China Morning Post (2020)

Such examples demonstrate not only correct usage but also the versatility and adaptability of these phrases within different contexts. These snippets also show the value of integrating these phrases smoothly into any conversation or piece of writing.

Now, let’s look at a few examples from other media sources that incorporate these expressions in various contexts:

In addition to print and online media, even personal blogs and channels of social media echo these correct forms, signaling their ubiquity and acceptance in everyday conversation:

• Bloggers recounting their experiences often write, “They helped me create my first website.”
• Podcast hosts may say, “This episode will help you navigate the complexities of tax law.”
• Travel influencers on Instagram share stories like, “She helped me to book the trip of a lifetime!”

With these examples, not only do you see the phrases in action, but you also understand their implications in various contexts. Whether it’s assistance in achieving a goal or expressing an uncontrollable reaction, the correct usage shines through.

Examining language through the lens of media empowers you with a rich repository of examples to guide your English usage. It’s a reminder that the language we speak and write is a living entity, continuously shaped by the contexts in which it is utilized. So as you read, listen, and engage with the English language across different media, pay close attention to these instances—they’re valuable lessons in grammar tucked into every story told.

Conclusion: Summarizing the Correct Use of “Help Do,” “Help To Do,” and “Help Doing”

As we wrap up our journey into the depths of English grammar, let us recap the nuances of verb usage concerning the “help” constructions. It’s been shown that “help do” and “help to do” are both grammatically correct forms to express assistance, with “help do” being the go-to phrase in American English for its efficiency and directness and “help to do” often preferred in more formal settings across both American and British English. The particular idiom “cannot help doing something” stands as the sole correct employment of “help doing,” illuminating a scenario where the action is so compelling it’s beyond one’s control to resist.

Your understanding of these expressions has now been fortified with a summary of correct usage , ensuring you can employ them with the right finesse. Whether drafting an email, working on an assignment, or engaging in casual dialogue, you’re equipped to navigate these phrases with ease, perfectly attuned to the context.

In reviewing this English grammar recap , remember that the clarity of your message hinges on selecting the proper verb form to complement “help.” The distinction between these verb patterns is more than mere semantics—it’s about conveying your intent with precision and ensuring your audience receives your communication as intended. By maintaining awareness of context, preferring “help do” for everyday use, and reserving “help to do” for more formal occasions, you’re not only showing linguistic prowess but also enhancing the effectiveness of your interactions.

How to Help Your Sibling with Homework

We've all been there—a younger (or older) sibling is struggling with a school assignment and asks for help with their homework. While it can be flattering to be asked for help, and often fun to work on an assignment together with your sibling, sometimes it's tough to know how best to help them with their homework. Finding the time to work together with your sibling can be difficult, but also rewarding. You can help your sibling with their homework by monitoring their efforts and helping them when they struggle, and also by making sure they stay focused and take breaks when needed.

Preparing to Help with Your Sibling's Homework

• Which subject is your sibling working on? Are they writing an essay, or solving multiple-choice questions?
• Look over a hard copy of your sibling's assignment. If they're confused, read over the assignment with them.

• “What don't you understand about the assignment?”
• “What methods did the teacher ask you to use when you work on this homework?”
• It may be the case that your sibling misunderstands a small point, and once you explain this to them, they will excel on the rest of their homework.

• Have your sibling schedule their homework for a single block of time, before dinner, and without TV or other distractions.
• Don't wear yourself out with helping your sibling. Try to avoid helping with their homework every day; limit yourself to two or three days a week.

• For example, your sibling may prefer to work in the relative quiet of a bedroom or study room.
• Alternately, they may prefer to work in the busy and stimulating atmosphere of a kitchen or dining room.
• If your sibling is in high school or college, you could take them to a coffee shop or café and help them work there.

Working with Your Sibling on Homework

• Show your sibling the error they have made, and ask if they have ideas about how to fix it.
• If your sibling does not understand a core concept of the assignment, explain it to them, but do not complete the homework for them.
• Come up with a model or example of a problem similar to the one your sibling is struggling with, then ask them to think through the example you created and solve it. You may be able to find such models and examples online, as well as tutorials that walk you through the process, which can be a helpful learning tool.

• While you're working with your sibling, say things to encourage their work, such as, “You're doing a great job; this is a tough subject to work on,” or, “I'm proud of how much progress you've made so far.”

• Explain the topic to your sibling and ask them to create a drawing about the term described. This is especially useful in fields like math or science.

• Youtube has a wealth of instructional videos. Start here, and branch out into other sites if Youtube does not have what you're looking for.
• This will work for siblings at any level—there are many useful instructional videos for high-school (or even college-) age students.

• Rather than simply handing out answers, explain the concept underlying your sibling's homework, and see if they can work out for themselves how the problem should be solved.

• Suppose your sibling has 1 hour of homework. Break for a maximum of 10 minutes after half an hour.
• Eat a healthy snack. You may have fruits, juice, milk, or crackers in your break time. Have a light snack and start with your assignments again.

Letting Your Sibling Learn for Themselves

• Ask your sibling to explain the answer of a problem. This will test if they understand the problem for themselves, or are just parroting your answer back to you.

• For example, if there are three similar math problems, you could show your sibling how to solve the first one, and let them solve the second and third problems on their own. Note if the subsequent problems get more difficult and make sure your sibling understands how to complete the additional steps, if applicable.

• A local public library. This will have books and reference materials that can help your sibling learn more about any subject.
• Useful websites. Aim to find academic reference sites that your sibling can refer to. Focus on sites that end in .edu, .org, or .gov as .com sites are commercially based and may provide biased information.
• For younger children, show them where they can find school supplies such as pencil, paper, crayons, and markers in the home.

Expert Q&A

• Finish with the difficult assignments first. Ask your sibling to do the easier work later on. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
• Do not ask your sibling to finish their homework right after they get home from school. Let them take a few minutes to rest, have a snack, etc.—then start the homework. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
• Make sure to leave yourself enough time to complete your own homework, if you're still in school. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

We’ve broken this article down into a few major sections. You’ll find:

• A bonus section with tips for how to do homework fast

By the end of this article, you’ll be prepared to tackle whatever homework assignments your teachers throw at you .

So let’s get started!

How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles 

Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time. 

The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. That’s why we’ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where you’re struggling. 

Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers! 

1. You’ve just been assigned an essay in your English class that’s due at the end of the week. What’s the first thing you do?

A. Keep it in mind, even though you won’t start it until the day before it’s due  B. Open up your planner. You’ve got to figure out when you’ll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sister’s dance recital this week, too.  C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one!  D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project that’s due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now. 

2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. You’ve just gotten home from school. You decide you’ll tackle your chores: 

A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start?  B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store.  C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work.  D. You won’t get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time! 

3. You’ve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You: 

A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter.  B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot you’d already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrow’s bake sale.  C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. You’re passionate about animals, so you’re excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldn’t help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!

4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide you’re going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You: 

A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means you’re not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home!  B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember you’re supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you!  C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though you’ve got SAT studying to do. It’s just more fun to watch people make scones.  D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because you’re reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.

5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because you’ve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you what’s wrong, you say: 

A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work.  B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks.  C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just can’t seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home.  D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadn’t gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in. 

Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Here’s how your answers break down: 

• If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination. 
• If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management. 
• If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation. 
• If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted. 

Now that you’ve identified why you’re having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it. 

And one more thing: you’re really struggling with homework, it’s a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating. 

How to Do Homework When You’re a Procrastinator  

Merriam Webster defines “procrastinate” as “to put off intentionally and habitually.” In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, you’ve experienced the effects of procrastination. 

If you’re a chronic procrastinator, you’re in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+. 

Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too! 

The big thing to understand about procrastination is that it’s not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being “disinclined to activity or exertion.” In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators don’t put things off because they don’t want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they don’t want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as it’s not their homework! 

3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination 

Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time. 

#1: Create a Reward System

Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isn’t enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done. 

Here’s what we mean: let’s say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day it’s due, you’ll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, you’ll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust. 

If you’re not into cupcakes, don’t worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe it’s hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as you’re choosing something that makes homework worth doing, you’ll be successful. 

#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner 

If you’re having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that you’re trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if they’d be willing to text you to make sure you’re doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if you’re meeting your anti-procrastination goals. 

Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, let’s say you’re tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before it’s due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you don’t want to fess up that you haven’t started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track. 

#3: Create Your Own Due Dates 

If you’re a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just can’t seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due. 

Here’s what we mean. Let’s say you have a math worksheet that’s been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the “last minute” is a day before the assignment’s real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead!

How to Do Homework When You’re too Busy

If you’re aiming to go to a top-tier college , you’re going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, it’s important that you’re maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix. 

If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions at once, you’re not alone. Recent research has found that stress—and more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression— are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students’ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them. 

For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible. 

3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule

While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure you’re able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students. 

#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List 

You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away. 

Here’s how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, it’s time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Here’s what those labels mean:

• A Tasks : tasks that have to get done—like showing up at work or turning in an assignment—get an A. 
• B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but aren’t as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. It’s still important, but it doesn’t have to be done right away.
• C Tasks: these are tasks that aren’t very important and/or have no real consequences if you don’t get them done immediately. For instance, if you’re hoping to clean out your closet but it’s not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.

Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that you’re spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), you’ll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important. 

#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels

Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if you’re not using a planner, it’s time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If you’re using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.

A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day. 

Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . We’re big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ). 

#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone 

If you need a little extra nudge to make sure you’re getting your homework done on time, it’s a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You don’t need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if you’ve decided you’re doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work. 

If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when it’s time to get started. 

This dog isn't judging your lack of motivation...but your teacher might. Keep reading for tips to help you motivate yourself to do your homework.

How to Do Homework When You’re Unmotivated 

At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute. 

But there’s one key difference: many procrastinators are working, they’re just prioritizing work differently. They know they’re going to start their homework...they’re just going to do it later. 

Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just can’t find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know they’ll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they don’t want to do in the first place. 

Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework : 

• Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless 
• Students aren’t interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
• Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they don’t understand the assignment 
• Homework isn’t fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy 

To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.

3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework

The key to getting homework done when you’re unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework. 

#1: Use Incremental Incentives

When you’re not motivated, it’s important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe you’re reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure you’re choosing a reward that works for you! 

So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !  

#2: Form a Homework Group 

If you’re having trouble motivating yourself, it’s okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You don’t have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjects— the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments. 

Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if you’re struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too. 

#3: Change Up Your Environment 

If you find that you’re totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if you’ve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done. 

If you’re stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe you’ve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new “homework spot” in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done. 

Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.

How to Do Homework When You’re Easily Distracted

We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like there’s always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.

The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average person’s attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once we’ve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done! 

3 Tips to Improve Your Focus

If you have a hard time focusing when you’re doing your homework, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done. 

#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Pick a place where you’ll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there won’t be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while you’re doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work. 

You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If that’s the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when you’ll be working on homework every day, and ask them if they’ll help you keep a quiet environment. They’ll be happy to lend a hand! 

#2: Limit Your Access to Technology 

We know, we know...this tip isn’t fun, but it does work. For homework that doesn’t require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, it’s best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, that’s fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so you’re not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework. 

If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But it’s not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while you’re working so that you’re not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and don’t open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you don’t need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure you’re getting your homework done. 

#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)

Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? It’s a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!

Here’s how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, it’s called a “pomodoro.” For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once you’ve done that, you’re rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long you’re really working on your homework.

Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast

Even if you’re doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)

The problem with speeding through homework is that it’s easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that you’re not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment! 

Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when you’re in a time crunch. 

#1: Do the Easy Parts First 

This is especially true if you’re working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are “easy” to answer . 

Once you’ve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade. 

(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !) 

#2: Pay Attention in Class 

Homework gets a lot easier when you’re actively learning the material. Teachers aren’t giving you homework because they’re mean or trying to ruin your weekend... it’s because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what you’re already learning in class so you’ll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.

When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, you’re absorbing the information you’ll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (You’re stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.

What’s Next?

If you’re looking to improve your productivity beyond homework, a good place to begin is with time management. After all, we only have so much time in a day...so it’s important to get the most out of it!

Hello!!! I heard somewhere a structure "help do something ", but I had thought that we should say "help TO do something". Can we use the first structure? For example : "I helped him do homework. Let's go out now!" Or only: "I helped him TO do homework. Let's go out now!"? Thank you so much!!!  

Senior Member

Some causative verbs always take the bare infinitive: Let me do it / Make it stop / Have him call me ​ Help is unusual in working with both the bare infinitive and the to-infinitive: Help me [to] do it / It might help her [to] stop smoking ​  

Thank you for your explanation!

He helped me with my homework. と He helped me with doing my homework. と He helped me do my homework. はどう違いますか？説明が難しい場合は、例文を教えて下さい。

• フランス語 (フランス)

@katsuaki0133 they're all different ways to say the same thing! he helped with my homework implies he may have given a hint, maybe answered a question, or did anything to help you finish your homework. he helped me with doing my homework implies he helped you do it. Maybe he sat down with you and read all of it with you. This means he probably did more work than in the first sentence. he helped me do my homework = he helped me with doing my homework, but even better. It sounds more natural. So there really is no difference in meaning. There is a tiny difference in what all three imply, but that's it. Let me know if you have questions! :)

5 Key Reasons That Kamala Harris Picked Tim Walz

The vice president is said to have liked Mr. Walz’s policies, his Midwestern appeal, and the likelihood that he would be a loyal running mate and governing partner.

• Share full article

By Katie Rogers

Reporting from Washington

• Aug. 6, 2024

As Vice President Kamala Harris was landing on her choice of a vice-presidential candidate, a few things about Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota brought him to the front of the pack.

Here are five key reasons he was chosen:

His plucky dad vibes

Mr. Walz, a balding 60-year-old former high school football coach with a thick Midwestern accent, has become a liberal favorite on social media precisely for his off-the-charts levels of uncoolness.

During the vetting period, a year-old video he had filmed with his daughter, Hope, while they visited the Minnesota State Fair went viral. It showed Mr. Walz screaming on a ride called the Slingshot and cheerfully admonishing his daughter for her lack of interest in eating corn dogs.

“I’m vegetarian,” his daughter said.

“Turkey, then,” the camouflage-hat-wearing Mr. Walz said.

In other resurfaced videos, he seems to enjoy doting on the family cat, Honey. Denizens of the internet, a place that is popular with cat lovers, have responded with fulsome support.

A person close to the selection process said that Mr. Walz’s previous career as a high school teacher and football coach also appealed to Ms. Harris, who has gained the support of the nation’s teachers unions.

The American Federation of Teachers, a powerful broker in Democratic politics, last month became the first labor union to endorse Ms. Harris . And the National Education Association, the largest labor union in the country, announced its support for the Democratic ticket on Tuesday after Mr. Walz’s selection was revealed.

What Kamala Harris has said so far on key issues in her campaign

As she ramps up her nascent presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is revealing how she will address the key issues facing the nation.

In speeches and rallies, she has voiced support for continuing many of President Joe Biden’s measures, such as lowering drug costs , forgiving student loan debt and eliminating so-called junk fees. But Harris has made it clear that she has her own views on some key matters, particularly Israel’s treatment of Gazans in its war with Hamas.

In a departure from her presidential run in 2020, the Harris campaign has confirmed that she’s moved away from many of her more progressive stances, such as her interest in a single-payer health insurance system and a ban on fracking.

Harris is also expected to put her own stamp and style on matters ranging from abortion to the economy to immigration, as she aims to walk a fine line of taking credit for the administration’s accomplishments while not being jointly blamed by voters for its shortcomings.

Her early presidential campaign speeches have offered insights into her priorities, though she’s mainly voiced general talking points and has yet to release more nuanced plans. Like Biden, she intends to contrast her vision for America with that of former President Donald Trump. ( See Trump’s campaign promises here .)

“In this moment, I believe we face a choice between two different visions for our nation: one focused on the future, the other focused on the past,” she told members of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta at an event in Indianapolis in late July. “And with your support, I am fighting for our nation’s future.”

Here’s what we know about Harris’ views:

Harris took on the lead role of championing abortion rights for the administration after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. This past January, she started a “ reproductive freedoms tour ” to multiple states, including a stop in Minnesota thought to be the first by a sitting US president or vice president at an abortion clinic .

On abortion access, Harris embraced more progressive policies than Biden in the 2020 campaign, as a candidate criticizing his previous support for the Hyde Amendment , a measure that blocks federal funds from being used for most abortions.

Policy experts suggested that although Harris’ current policies on abortion and reproductive rights may not differ significantly from Biden’s, as a result of her national tour and her own focus on maternal health , she may be a stronger messenger.

High prices are a top concern for many Americans who are struggling to afford the cost of living after a spell of steep inflation. Many voters give Biden poor marks for his handling of the economy, and Harris may also face their wrath.

In her early campaign speeches, Harris has echoed many of the same themes as Biden, saying she wants to give Americans more opportunities to get ahead. She’s particularly concerned about making care – health care, child care, elder care and family leave – more affordable and available.

Harris promised at a late July rally to continue the Biden administration’s drive to eliminate so-called “junk fees” and to fully disclose all charges, such as for events, lodging and car rentals. In early August, the administration proposed a rule that would ban airlines from charging parents extra fees to have their kids sit next to them.

On day one, I will take on price gouging and bring down costs. We will ban more of those hidden fees and surprise late charges that banks and other companies use to pad their profits.”

Since becoming vice president, Harris has taken more moderate positions, but a look at her 2020 campaign promises reveals a more progressive bent than Biden.

As a senator and 2020 presidential candidate, Harris proposed providing middle-class and working families with a refundable tax credit of up to $6,000 a year (per couple) to help keep up with living expenses. Titled the LIFT the Middle Class Act, or Livable Incomes for Families Today, the measure would have cost at the time an estimated $3 trillion over 10 years.

Unlike a typical tax credit, the bill would allow taxpayers to receive the benefit – up to $500 – on a monthly basis so families don’t have to turn to payday loans with very high interest rates.

As a presidential candidate, Harris also advocated for raising the corporate income tax rate to 35%, where it was before the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Trump and congressional Republicans pushed through Congress reduced the rate to 21%. That’s higher than the 28% Biden has proposed.

Affordable housing was also on Harris’ radar. As a senator, she introduced the Rent Relief Act, which would establish a refundable tax credit for renters who annually spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent and utilities. The amount of the credit would range from 25% to 100% of the excess rent, depending on the renter’s income.

Harris called housing a human right and said in a 2019 news release on the bill that every American deserves to have basic security and dignity in their own home.

Consumer debt

Hefty debt loads, which weigh on people’s finances and hurt their ability to buy homes, get car loans or start small businesses, are also an area of interest to Harris.

As vice president, she has promoted the Biden administration’s initiatives on student debt, which have so far forgiven more than $168 billion for nearly 4.8 million borrowers . In mid-July, Harris said in a post on X that “nearly 950,000 public servants have benefitted” from student debt forgiveness, compared with only 7,000 when Biden was inaugurated.

A potential Harris administration could keep that momentum going – though some of Biden’s efforts have gotten tangled up in litigation, such as a program aimed at cutting monthly student loan payments for roughly 3 million borrowers enrolled in a repayment plan the administration implemented last year.

The vice president has also been a leader in the White House efforts to ban medical debt from credit reports, noting that those with medical debt are no less likely to repay a loan than those who don’t have unpaid medical bills.

In a late July statement praising North Carolina’s move to relieve the medical debt of about 2 million residents, Harris said that she is “committed to continuing to relieve the burden of medical debt and creating a future where every person has the opportunity to build wealth and thrive.”

Health care

Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system .

During her 2020 campaign, Harris advocated for shifting the US to a government-backed health insurance system but stopped short of wanting to completely eliminate private insurance.

The measure called for transitioning to a Medicare-for-All-type system over 10 years but continuing to allow private insurance companies to offer Medicare plans.

The proposal would not have raised taxes on the middle class to pay for the coverage expansion. Instead, it would raise the needed funds by taxing Wall Street trades and transactions and changing the taxation of offshore corporate income.

When it comes to reducing drug costs, Harris previously proposed allowing the federal government to set “a fair price” for any drug sold at a cheaper price in any economically comparable country, including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Japan or Australia. If manufacturers were found to be price gouging, the government could import their drugs from abroad or, in egregious cases, use its existing but never-used “march-in” authority to license a drug company’s patent to a rival that would produce the medication at a lower cost.

Harris has been a champion on climate and environmental justice for decades. As California’s attorney general, Harris sued big oil companies like BP and ConocoPhillips, and investigated Exxon Mobil for its role in climate change disinformation. While in the Senate, she sponsored the Green New Deal resolution.

During her 2020 campaign, she enthusiastically supported a ban on fracking — but a Harris campaign official said in late July that she no longer supports such a ban.

Fracking is the process of using liquid to free natural gas from rock formations – and the primary mode for extracting gas for energy in battleground Pennsylvania. During a September 2019 climate crisis town hall hosted by CNN, she said she would start “with what we can do on Day 1 around public lands.” She walked that back later when she became Biden’s running mate.

Biden has been the most pro-climate president in history, and climate advocates find Harris to be an exciting candidate in her own right. Democrats and climate activists are planning to campaign on the stark contrasts between Harris and Trump , who vowed to push America decisively back to fossil fuels, promising to unwind Biden’s climate and clean energy legacy and pull America out of its global climate commitments.

If elected, one of the biggest climate goals Harris would have to craft early in her administration is how much the US would reduce its climate pollution by 2035 – a requirement of the Paris climate agreement .

Immigration

Harris has quickly started trying to counter Trump’s attacks on her immigration record.

Her campaign released a video in late July citing Harris’ support for increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and Trump’s successful push to scuttle a bipartisan immigration deal that included some of the toughest border security measures in recent memory.

The vice president has changed her position on border control since her 2020 campaign, when she suggested that Democrats needed to “critically examine” the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, after being asked whether she sided with those in the party arguing to abolish the department.

In June of this year, the White House announced a crackdown on asylum claims meant to continue reducing crossings at the US-Mexico border – a policy that Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, indicated in late July to CBS News would continue under a Harris administration.

Trump’s attacks stem from Biden having tasked Harris with overseeing diplomatic efforts in Central America in March 2021. While Harris focused on long-term fixes, the Department of Homeland Security remained responsible for overseeing border security.

She has only occasionally talked about her efforts as the situation along the US-Mexico border became a political vulnerability for Biden. But she put her own stamp on the administration’s efforts, engaging the private sector.

Harris pulled together the Partnership for Central America, which has acted as a liaison between companies and the US government. Her team and the partnership are closely coordinating on initiatives that have led to job creation in the region. Harris has also engaged directly with foreign leaders in the region.

Experts credit Harris’ ability to secure private-sector investments as her most visible action in the region to date but have cautioned about the long-term durability of those investments.

Israel-Hamas

The Israel-Hamas war is the most fraught foreign policy issue facing the country and has spurred a multitude of protests around the US since it began in October.

After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in late July, Harris gave a forceful and notable speech about the situation in Gaza.

We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”

Harris echoed Biden’s repeated comments about the “ironclad support” and “unwavering commitment” to Israel. The country has a right to defend itself, she said, while noting, “how it does so, matters.”

However, the empathy she expressed regarding the Palestinian plight and suffering was far more forceful than what Biden has said on the matter in recent months. Harris mentioned twice the “serious concern” she expressed to Netanyahu about the civilian deaths in Gaza, the humanitarian situation and destruction she called “catastrophic” and “devastating.”

She went on to describe “the images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time.”

Harris emphasized the need to get the Israeli hostages back from Hamas captivity, naming the eight Israeli-American hostages – three of whom have been killed.

But when describing the ceasefire deal in the works, she didn’t highlight the hostage for prisoner exchange or aid to be let into Gaza. Instead, she singled out the fact that the deal stipulates the withdrawal by the Israeli military from populated areas in the first phase before withdrawing “entirely” from Gaza before “a permanent end to the hostilities.”

Harris didn’t preside over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in late July, instead choosing to stick with a prescheduled trip to a sorority event in Indiana.

Harris is committed to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, having met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at least six times and announcing last month $1.5 billion for energy assistance, humanitarian needs and other aid for the war-torn country.

At the Munich Security Conference earlier this year, Harris said: “I will make clear President Joe Biden and I stand with Ukraine. In partnership with supportive, bipartisan majorities in both houses of the United States Congress, we will work to secure critical weapons and resources that Ukraine so badly needs. And let me be clear: The failure to do so would be a gift to Vladimir Putin.”

More broadly, NATO is central to our approach to global security. For President Biden and me, our sacred commitment to NATO remains ironclad. And I do believe, as I have said before, NATO is the greatest military alliance the world has ever known.”

Police funding

The Harris campaign has also walked back the “defund the police” sentiment that Harris voiced in 2020. What she meant is she supports being “tough and smart on crime,” Mitch Landrieu, national co-chair for the Harris campaign and former mayor of New Orleans, told CNN’s Pamela Brown in late July.

In the midst of nationwide 2020 protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, Harris voiced support for the “defund the police” movement, which argues for redirecting funds from law enforcement to social services. Throughout that summer, Harris supported the movement and called for demilitarizing police departments.

Democrats largely backed away from calls to defund the police after Republicans attempted to tie the movement to increases in crime during the 2022 midterm elections.

he helped me to do my homework: Anh ấy đã giúp tôi làm bài tập về nhà (cả 2 cùng làm, anh ấy giúp làm cùng) he helped me do my homework: anh ấy đã làm bài tập về nhà cho tôi (1 mình anh ấy làm, bạn không làm) maybe, I do not sure :(((

@Nuong_Nguyen @jun_ll Help someone (to) something. Có “to” hay không cũng được. Đều mang nghĩa giúp. chứ không có phân biệt dưựa vào làm hết công việc 1 mình hay together. Còn help someone with something. Giúp bằng việc “cho 1 thứ gì đó”

@pham_lio @jun_ll mình hỏi người bản xứ họ bảo help someone do something là làm cụ thể việc gì đó. còn help someone with something giống kiểu hỗ trợ ai đó làm việc gì đó hơn “to help someone do something means they have a plan but they need you to help make it happen for them. to help someone with something means everything they want to do is in place, you just need to show up and do what they ask or add to their ideas.”.
