Help (2024)

FAQs

What to reply when someone asks for help? ›

“Thanks though.” — Thank them for offering assistance. “If I needed some help a little later, can I count/call on you?” — Make them feel their help may be needed later even if you're sure you wont need it, this makes them not to feel turned down and allows you to freely go back to them when you need their help.

When someone asks you if they can help, refer to your list and say “YES.” Let them choose what task on the list they would like to do. You don't need to feel indebted to those who help—your sincere appreciation of their help is thanks enough. People understand that you may not be able to return the favor.

When someone says they need your help, a few appropriate responses could be: 1. "Of course, I'm here for you. How can I assist?" 2. "I'm more than happy to help.

Responses such as “o*kay,” “All right,” and “Thank you,” rather than “Awesome,” “Perfect,” and “Exactly” show equitable acknowledgement without evaluating the response. Paraphrasing what the students say is another way to show that the facilitator is listening and acknowledging the responses.

Avoid sending short or one-word replies.

If you're responding to a message from another person, get them engaged within the conversation and give them a true response that is at least a sentence or 2 long. Sometimes, it's perfectly acceptable to respond with “o*k” if it makes sense in the context.

The formally correct response is to say the same words back: “How do you do?” You say this only on the first occasion that you meet the other person. When you meet them again you can say, “How are you?” to which the answer is “Fine/Well, thanks, and you?”

Typical responses to thank you so much could include: "You're very welcome" "It was my pleasure" "I was happy to help"

How to answer "Are you okay?"? ›

Answer briefly with a reply like "I'm good, thanks" or "Fine, thanks." Quick answers like "Can't complain," "Not bad," and "I'm okay, thanks" are also good options. If you'd like to spark further conversation, go into a little more detail on how you're feeling.

“No, sorry, I'm not able to help” says no help is forthcoming. “Yes, I will help you and I will try my best” and “Yes, I will help you. Let me see what I can do” both say that help is on its way. The first responder is not too confident in their ability to be of help.

Try saying “No, thank you”. It works for me. Thank-you, I do not need help right now, I will let you know when I do”. Thanks for your mention but im good to go know, I will surely ask for help if needed.

Your answer / reply should be based on your opinion of whether or not you want to help. If this is a trustworthy friend or colleague then your answer may be ... "Sure, what can I help you with?" or "Let me know what you need, I'd be glad to help."
