2. 表示“在……的帮助下”，通常用介词 with，不能按汉语意思用under。如:

3. 用作动词，表示“帮助”，其后可接不定式或不定式的复合结构作宾语，其中的不定式可以带 to 也可以不带 to。

Mother helped me (to) do my homework. 妈妈帮助我做家庭作业。
在被动语态中，不定式要带 to。如:

另外，当 help 之后接一个较长的名词词组作宾语，或当其中的不定式所表示的动作主语不直接参加时，不定式一般都要带 to。如:
Help the little boys at the back of the hall to carry the chairs out. 请帮大厅后面那些小男孩把椅子搬出去。
The book helps (you) to speak English. 这本书有助于(你)说英语。
注意，help 后不能接动名词或动名词的复合结构。如:
误:He helped washing the car.
误:I helped him [his] finding his things.
但是若在一定的句型中用了介词，则可用动名词。如:
The book will help you in improving [= to improve] your English. 这本书会有助于提高你的英语水平。
dream用作动词和名词的用法:
1. 用作动词，表示“想见”或“梦想”，注意以下用法:

若将 little, never 置于句首，其后要用倒装句式。如:

3. 用作名词，注意以下用法:

2. 用作动词，注意以下用法:
(1) 可以是不及物的，意为“穿衣”，也可以是及物的，意为“给……穿衣服”;用作及物动词时，其宾语通常只能是人，而不能是衣服。如:

She dresses her boys each morning for school. 她每天早上给她的儿子们穿好衣服好让他们去上学。
(2) 用作及物动词时，若是指自己穿衣服，还通常后接反身代词作宾语，或用于be [get] dressed结构。如:
The child is too young to dress itself. 孩子太小还不会穿衣服。
When she was dressed, she went downstairs. 她穿好衣服就走下楼去。
You’ve got five minutes to get dressed. 你有5分钟时间穿衣服。
get dressed还通常用于祈使句。如:

(3) 有时用作不及物动词，表示穿晚礼服，注意不要误解类似下面这样的句子:
Do I need to dress for the theatre?
正:我去剧院需要穿晚礼服吗?
误:我去剧院需要穿衣服吗?
(4) be dressed in与be dressed as意思不一样:前者意为“穿着……”，后者意为“穿得像……”。如:
She was dressed in white. 她穿着白衣服。
He was dressed as a woman. 他男扮女装。
