Hi, Alex! The thing is, the word 'help' may be followed by an infinitive either with ir without 'to'. Just some changes in modern English....

Hi Alex, there is no "to" before the infinitive because it can be easily omitted and it usually is, just to avoid double infinitive (to help to learn) which sounds a little awkward nowadays.

Cлова help,let, make и некоторые другие требуют после себя глагол без to ( bare infinitive )

+Olga:

Olga's right - you can use TO here, but it sounds better without.

It is an infinitive and as Olga says it is a bit awkard to have a double to)

to help you learn/ to help you study/ to hel you concentrate.

Try to remember the construction that way.

Also, in your sentence, I think (maybe the girls can correct me) the construction is "ask for something". I ask for your help. English has some fixed constructions. Sometimes when you get really conscious about something, it sticks to your head. :-)

Thank you, everyone! Thanks a lot! You really helped me)

Anytime:)
