What follows the verb "Help"

I know it's correct to say,

Chlorophyll helps plants (to) make food.

What about:

IN + (V+ing);

Is it correct to say:

"Chlorophyll helps plants IN MAKING food".

  

Top answer

Hussein Hassan Is it correct to say:"Chlorophyll helps plants IN MAKING food". It is grammatically OK but more awkward and less native than 'help (to) do'.
