Reflexive pronoun
Hello....
In the sentence below, the "him" refers to "He".
Then, the "him" does not need to be used in reflexive form?
I feel that logically it needs to be in reflexive form, but when it is not confusable, reflexive form is an option, not compulsory. Is this correct understanding of natives' sense?
********
He wants to draw a picture to help him understand better.
