"to help " + verb
Why the verb after the word "help" doesn't have suffix "-ing" , i came across this in lot of articles..
examples:
"To help create the opportunity .."
"To help make it .."
why it isn't "to help creating .."
"to help making..."
Are these correct??
The "help" itself is a verb, why is there another verb following this verb without -ing...
Help!
examples:
"To help create the opportunity .."
"To help make it .."
why it isn't "to help creating .."
"to help making..."
Are these correct??

The second verb is the infinitive with 'to' omitted. You could put the 'to' back in, eg
"To help to create the oppo
