10 Today How to offer to help




So, it is party time and we are arranging carnival events. So offering to help is something to remember. We can say things like;
Very formal     We are entirely at your disposal   Estamos a su entera disposicion.
Neutral     I´ll be glad to help you! Note the different use of WILL
Informal   Anything I can do?  Note:  no interrogative format.
Then other things we could say:
 Can I be of any use?        Si puedo serle util….
Could I give you a hand?    ¿Te puedo echar una mano ?
Do you need a hand?  ¿Te ayudo?
Can you manage or shall I help out? ¿Puedes arreglartelas ó te ayudo?
And for higher levels
Do you want me to lend you a hand?    ¿Quieres que te eche una mano?
Many hands make light work!  I´ll help      El trabajo compartido es mas llevadero.
Can I chip in?   ¿Puedo colaborar? ( helping with money or “ hands” )
