Thank you once again for your kind and quick reply.

You're welcome, and the correct spelling is 'grammar'.

It also just occurred to me that another correct sentence is '...by correcting any mistakes...'.

Hi!,,,

You mean to say both, "on correcting if any mistakes" and "by correcting any mistakes" are correct ?

Thank you once again,,

Hi!!

sorry for any inconvinience & trubles

Please help me (mean Im asking a help/person) + Correct any mistake (on perticular matter/subject).

shouldn't there be any conjenction inbetween this?

I really find dificult to get this - "please help me correct any mistakes" ....

I always used to use conjenction to join this two like;

"please help me to correct any mistakes"

Thank you

"to" is not a conjunction. "to" can be a preposition, but here "to correct" is the infinitive.

1) In the sentence 'Please help me to correct any mistakes.', "to" is not necessary and is usually omitted.

2) But in some sentences "to" is necessary.

I (need)(want) to correct my mistakes.

I (need)(want) someone to correct my mistakes.

I am trying to correct my mistakes.

I always forget to correct my mistakes.

Tell them to correct their mistakes.

3) And sometimes using "to" is incorrect.

Make him to correct his mistakes. [N]

Why didn't you to correct your mistakes? [N]

I know this is confusing, and one can only learn this gradually over time.
