give (someone) a hand with (something)

"Give (someone) a hand" means to help someone. The word "help" has a wide meaning. It can be used to describe helping someone with a small problem, or with a serious emergency. So when you're asking for help, it's important to express how serious the problem is. For big emergencies, you just yell:

For smaller but still serious problems, you can ask:

Can you help me?

And for small problems that aren't an emergency, you ask:

Can you give me a hand?

Can you (do something)?

This is a way to ask someone to do something. It's appropriate for:

  • a boss to use with the people who work for him or her
  • a customer to use with a store employee
  • a parent to use with his or her children
  • asking a friend to help you with something

"Can you ___" is more direct than asking "Could you..."

Sometimes a person will include "maybe" in this question:

Can you maybe call him and tell him to meet us there?
Can you maybe turn the volume down just a little?

give me a hand on/in doing something

"I asked my friend to give me a hand on/in picking a color for my room." Is a preposition needed at all in that sentence?  

Hi, Yes I think that it is needed, nevertheless you could also change the sentence into: I asked my friend to help me pick a color for my room  

Thanks, anie. But I'm wondering what the correct proposition would be in that particular sentence. I'm now thinking it might be, "Give me a hand at doing something."  

I think "on" can work in this case. For example, please give me a hand on understanding on this sentence. Looking forwards to some suggestions from native English speakers.  

kayokid

Hello. I am thinking that you could omit the preposition entirely here. I asked my friend to give me a hand picking out a color for my room. If I had to use one I would go with "in."  

samanthalee

samanthalee

I agree with kayokid. The preposition is not necessary. If you want to use one though, use "in". "On" would not be correct.  

Thanks, everyone! What kayokid says makes great sense. Omitting the preposition seems to do the trick. But I also think samanthalee has a point. At the very least, "Give me a hand in an activity" and "with something" sound right. Although I'm not 100% sure, the other two ("at doing something" and "on solving a problem") also seem fine to me.

by Owen Kingsley

Flowers and Mother's Day go hand in hand.

She’s really helped me become a new mom and help me grow into my role and helping me raise this little nugget," said Abigail Felker. “Kind of a great time to sit back and reflect about all the changes and experiences we’ve gone through this year and I mean, he’s here and that’s what makes it worth all of it, every single day.”

What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign

Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden’s policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, as well as other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel industry.

As Donald Trump sat with some of the country’s top oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago Club last month, one executive complained about how they continued to face burdensome environmental regulations despite spending $400 million to lobby the Biden administration in the last year.

Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden ’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation.

Giving $1 billion would be a “deal,” Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him, according to the people.

Trump’s remarkably blunt and transactional pitch reveals how the former president is targeting the oil industry to finance his reelection bid. At the same time, he has turned to the industry to help shape his environmental agenda for a second term, including rollbacks of some of Biden’s signature achievements on clean energy and electric vehicles.

The contrast between the two candidates on climate policy could not be more stark. Biden has called global warming an “existential threat,” and over the last three years, his administration has finalized more than 100 new environmental regulations aimed at cutting air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, restricting toxic chemicals, and conserving public lands and waters. In comparison, Trump has called climate change a “hoax,” and his administration weakened or wiped out more than 125 environmental rules and policies over four years.

In recent months, the Biden administration has raced to overturn Trump’s environmental actions and issue new ones before the November election. So far, Biden officials have overturned 27 Trump actions affecting the fossil fuel industry and completed at least 24 new actions affecting the sector, according to a Washington Post analysis . The Interior Department, for instance, recently blocked future oil drilling across 13 million acres of the Alaskan Arctic .

Despite the oil industry’s complaints about Biden’s policies, the United States is now producing more oil than any country ever has , pumping nearly 13 million barrels per day on average last year. ExxonMobil and Chevron, the largest U.S. energy companies, reported their biggest annual profits in a decade last year.

Yet oil giants will see an even greater windfall — helped by new offshore drilling, speedier permits and other relaxed regulations — in a second Trump administration, the former president told the executives over the dinner of chopped steak at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump vowed at the dinner to immediately end the Biden administration’s freeze on permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports — a top priority for the executives, according to three people present. “You’ll get it on the first day,” Trump said, according to the recollection of an attendee.

The roughly two dozen executives invited included Mike Sabel, the CEO and founder of Venture Global, and Jack Fusco, the CEO of Cheniere Energy, whose proposed projects would directly benefit from lifting the pause on new LNG exports. Other attendees came from companies including Chevron, Continental Resources, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, according to an attendance list obtained by The Post.

Trump told the executives that he would start auctioning off more leases for oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, a priority that several of the executives raised. He railed against wind power, as The Post previously reported. And he said he would reverse the restrictions on drilling in the Alaskan Arctic.

“You’ve been waiting on a permit for five years; you’ll get it on Day 1,” Trump told the executives, according to the recollection of the attendee.

At the dinner, Trump also promised that he would scrap Biden’s “mandate” on electric vehicles — mischaracterizing ambitious rules that the Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized , according to people who attended. The rules require automakers to reduce emissions from car tailpipes, but they don’t mandate a particular technology such as EVs. Trump called the rules “ridiculous” in the meeting with donors.

The fossil fuel industry has aggressively lobbied against the EPA’s tailpipe rules, which could eat into demand for its petroleum products. The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, an industry trade group, has launched a seven-figure campaign against what it calls a de facto “gas car ban.” The campaign includes ads in battleground states warning that the rule will restrict consumer choice.

“Clearly, if you are producing gasoline and diesel, you want to make sure that there’s enough market there,” said Stephen Brown, an energy consultant and a former lobbyist for Tesoro, an oil refining company. “I don’t know that the oil industry would walk in united with a set of asks for the Trump administration, but I think it’s important for this issue to get raised.”

Although the repeal of the EPA rule would benefit the fossil fuel industry, it would probably anger the auto industry, which has invested billions of dollars in the transition away from gasoline-powered cars. Many automakers are under increasing pressure to sell more EVs in Europe, which has tightened its own tailpipe emissions rules, and they are eager to avoid a patchwork of regulations around the globe.

“Automakers need some degree of regulatory certainty from government,” said John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Toyota and other car companies.

“What has emerged instead is a wholesale repeal … and then reinstatement … and then repeal again of regulations every four or eight years,” Bozzella said in an email.

Biden’s EV policies have also sparked opposition in Republican-led rural states such as North Dakota, where there are far more oil pump jacks than charging stations. A key figure leading the Trump campaign’s development of its energy policy is North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), who has been talking extensively to oil donors and CEOs.

At a fundraiser on Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla., Burgum told donors that Trump would halt Biden’s “attack” on fossil fuels, according to a recording of his remarks obtained by The Post.

“What would be the No. 1 thing that President Trump could do on Day 1? It’s stop the hostile attack against all American energy, and I mean all,” Burgum said. “Whether it’s baseload electricity, whether it’s oil, whether it’s gas, whether it’s ethanol, there is an attack on liquid fuels.”

Burgum also criticized the Biden administration’s policies on gas stoves and vehicles with internal combustion engines, claiming that they would prevent consumers from buying both technologies. While the Energy Department recently set new efficiency standards for gas stoves, they would not affect the stoves in people’s kitchens or those currently on the market.

“They’ve got some liberal idea about what products we need,” Burgum said. “You all need EV cars. You don’t need internal combustion. We’ll decide what kind of car you’re going to drive, and we’re going to regulate the other ones out of business. I mean, it’s just in every industry, not just in cars, not just in energy. They’re telling people what stoves you can buy. This is not America.”

The Biden campaign initially declined to comment for this article. After it was published, however, Biden campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa said in a statement that “Donald Trump is selling out working families to Big Oil for campaign checks. It’s that simple.”

“It doesn’t matter to Trump that oil and gas companies charge working families and middle-class Americans whatever they want while raking in record profits — if Donald can cash a check, he’ll do what they say,” Moussa added.

Burgum — a possible contender to lead the Energy Department in a second Trump term — has pushed harder to address climate change than many other Republicans. He set a goal in 2021 for North Dakota — the third-largest oil-producing state — to become carbon-neutral by 2030. He has stressed, however, that the goal won’t be achieved via government mandates or the elimination of fossil fuels, and he has cultivated deep support among oil donors.

Despite Trump’s huge fundraising ask, oil donors and their allies have yet to donate hundreds of millions to his campaign. They have contributed more than $6.4 million to Trump’s joint fundraising committee in the first three months of this year, according to an analysis by the advocacy group Climate Power. Oil billionaire Harold Hamm and others are scheduling a fundraiser for Trump later this year, advisers said, where they expect large checks to flow to his bid to return to office.

One person involved in the industry said many oil executives wanted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or another Republican to challenge Biden. But now that Trump is the nominee, this person said, they are going to embrace his policies and give.

Dan Eberhart, chief executive of the oil-field services company Canary and a Trump donor, said the Republican onslaught of donations was not surprising.

“Biden constantly throws a wet blanket to the oil and gas industry,” Eberhart said. “Trump’s ‘drill, baby, drill’ philosophy aligns much better with the oil patch than Biden’s green-energy approach. It’s a no-brainer.”

Alex Witt, a senior adviser for oil and gas with Climate Power, said Trump’s promise is he will do whatever the oil industry wants if they support him. With Trump, Witt said, “everything has a price.”

“They got a great return on their investment during Trump’s first term, and Trump is making it crystal clear that they’re in for an even bigger payout if he’s reelected,” she said.

Did Baldur's Gate 3 Give Everyone Early Access FOMO, Or Just Me?

  • Early Access allows players to shape games, like Baldur's Gate 3, before their full release, leading to improvements and community involvement.
  • Mainstream acceptance of Early Access can prevent incomplete releases, like Redfall, from receiving harsh criticism and shutting down studios prematurely.
  • Big studios should consider Early Access as a way to test and improve their games with player input, benefiting both developers and gamers.

When last year’s near unanimous Game of the Year Baldur’s Gate 3 was first released in early access, hype hadn’t quite built up to the point where everybody was rushing to play it – that only happened after five star reviews started to stream in, though a sizeable community of fans had already built up around it. I played it on release, but only because I had friends who had been playing in early access urging me not to let it pass by, swearing that it was an excellent game that had been severely overlooked by the majority of press and players.

It turns out they were right, and as somebody who never starts playing games in early access, I started to wonder what other gems I was currently overlooking. I have colleagues like Eric Switzer who regularly play games in early access, assessing their potential and watching them develop over months or years. I, however, am more like my fellow features editor Andrew King, who prefers to wait till a developer considers their game complete before jumping into it .

Early Access Gives Us A Chance To Shape Our Favourite Games

But Baldur’s Gate 3 has changed me. I’ve seen hardcore, longtime fans of the game talking about how the game has changed over its years of evolution in the public eye, discussing what they wished the game had kept and what had been rightfully tossed out. I’ve also seen a distinct uptick in mainstream coverage of highly anticipated games released in early access, like Manor Lords and Hades 2 , both of which I have purchased and plan to dive into myself. I’ve never been one to feel the need to contribute to a game’s development, but learning so much about how player input shaped and continues to shape Baldur’s Gate 3’s final form has made me want to jump into the ring too.

Like Andrew, I think that most games could benefit from an official early access period where large numbers of players give feedback on what’s working, what isn’t, and what they want to see in the future. While I believe that too many cooks can spoil the broth, game development has always been a heavily collaborative process, and in an industry where development is often opaque and mysterious, it’s refreshing to see developers working in the open and consulting with their target audiences, and for their projects to be recognised for their potential so early in development. It’s very cool that more people, myself included, are recognising that there is a way to have a hand in shaping the games they want to play to be better.

Baldur's Gate 3's Success Started When It Moved Its Launch To Avoid Starfield

Better officially incomplete than unofficially.

So many games nowadays release feeling sorely incomplete. Over time, they become excellent and beloved in their own right, so the mainstream normalisation of early access can only be a good thing. In the wake of Microsoft’s decision to shut down several studios including Arkane Austin , I can’t help but wonder what could have been if Redfall had been released in early access instead of as a full, finished game.

I remember reading reviews of Redfall, including Eric’s , when it came out and thinking that the consensus seemed to be that the game felt incomplete. The mechanics were shallow, the exploration wasn’t compelling, and the combat was lacking. Bugs aside, these are not the kind of things you can easily fix through patches, they are fundamental gameplay flaws. But at the same time, critics praised aspects of it like the gunplay and the strong environmental storytelling , the latter of which being what Arkane is best known for.

With enough player input and resources, would an early access period have helped guide Arkane in the right direction? There was clearly something here, strengths that could have been built on to turn a thoroughly mediocre game into at least a good one, but the studio was never given the chance. With time, these flaws could have been improved on, but releasing as a complete game in a broken state and with so many huge flaws meant Redfall was critically panned from the get go and likely written off by Xbox executives.

A major update to the game was apparently meant to drop in May, until the studio was unceremoniously closed and all future updates cancelled.

There is no going back in time and changing things, and Arkane no longer exists thanks to Microsoft’s brutal decision to close the studio entirely after Redfall flopped. We will never get to see what could have been, what it could have fixed over the years, and whether it could have earned itself a Cyberpunk 2077-level redemption arc. Very few games are perfect out of the gate, and I can’t help but imagine what could have been if more big studios viewed early access as a viable way to test games. With so many early access games in the public eye right now, maybe they’ll start.

Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 is the long-awaited next chapter in the Dungeons & Dragons-based series of RPGs. Developed by Divinity creator Larian Studios, it puts you in the middle of a mind flayer invasion of Faern, over a century after the events of its predecessor.
