Help someone do/ to do something

I want to know how to use verbs when they occur as they do below:

I want to help Mary clean the kitchen.
I want to help Mary to clean the kitchen.

I helped her cut the vegetables
I helped her to cut the vegetables

Which one is right and why?

Both are right, and anybody might say either one. I guess the bare infinitive is more common.
