🌍 The 'Helping' Pattern

In this story, we see a very common way to describe people or countries doing things for others. Let's look at the word HELP.

1. Basic Action

  • "Other countries want to help."
  • "Qatar is the main helper now."

Notice: When we add -er to a verb, it becomes the person doing the action.

  • Help (Action) → Helper (Person)

2. Working Together

  • "Jordan and Syria are also working together."

3. Giving Support

  • "The US is helping sick people."
