Thanks for help vs. Thanks for helping me

Is the sentence 'Thanks for help' easily understood?

Should I use 'Thanks for helping me', or 'Thanks for help me'?


Solution 1:

The only sentence which is correct is "Thanks for helping me", as the verb "to help" is preceded by a preposition and so needs to be a gerund.

If you prefer, you could use help as a noun; in this case, you should write Thanks for your help instead of your initial sentence.
