To be of help????

is it correct to say:



" i hope i have been of help" or " i hope it was of help" Note that i m translating from italian language (where it is OK) to English and i really doubt it makes a sense...??



Usually i write " i hope it helped you "



Can you advise something else?



thanks

Hi,

It's fine. But start with a capital 'I'. Emotion: smile

If 'of help' doesn't sound 'English' enough for you, you can always say 'helpful' instead.

Hi
Be of help is correct is the following correct?

That's not [of] a lot of help.

No, not with 'a lot of' stuck in there. The registers are mismatched.
