Help

Sir,

1. I helped mummy bake them(biscuits or bread).

2. I helped mummy to bake them.


I read (1) in a text book. But at the same time, I have read that the verb "help" is used as

Subject +object+to-infinitive.

I helped mummy to bake them.


Please help me out from such confusing stage.

Thanks.

"help" is unusual. It allows both structures. You can help someone do something, or you can help someone to do something.
