[/nq] "As best as I can" is grammatically incorrect. "As best I can" could mean "As well as I can" - but I'd need more context to be certain. Regards, Einde O'Callaghan

[nq:1]"Clarify" is an infinitive here. After "help" you can use the infinitive with or without "to" - both are correct. I think the form without "to" is slightly more formal.[/nq]
Whereas I would have thought that the form with "to" is slightly more formal.
