2014年10月3日 · I've found in a dictionary that the expression 'You're a great help. is used to comment on someone's help. It's an ironic comment though.) Is the expression: 'You're a big help.' used in the same way? And can they be used only ironically? Thank you.

You are a great help to me. You are of great help to me. Both the sentences are grammatical. There's no difference in meaning between these sentences. The noun "help" in the former has been used in the sense of a person who helps somebody to do something. In the latter, it has been used as an act or process of helping somebody.

2007年9月10日 · "Of big help" sounds a little odd to me. If I wanted to use "of," I would say "of much help." Otherwise, I'd say "a big help" as proposed by Dimcl.

2019年5月8日 · Thank you very much; you were of a great help. Thank you very much; you helped me a lot. To me, all the sentences above mean the same, but I need to know what do you think about their connotations?

If so, what difference do you see between them? I guess 2. is not idiomatic because the formula of 'for A to do' is natural. Thanks in advance.

"Of any help", or "of much help" is used to ask if there was even a small bit of help provided where the expectation of the asker is there will be a negative answer. No, he wasn't any help. (most common) No, he wasn't much help. are the replies for saying he was not able to help.

2008年10月7日 · I think using 'of' is technically correct, but you'll hear both coloquially. Typically I'll hear something like "Thanks, you're a big help" (usually sarcastically), but 'great' sounds pretty much correct as well. Using 'of' sounds much more formal.

2007年5月28日 · You have been a big help in so many ways... Just a little reunion to say: Thank you! Esto es el texto de una invitación en agradecimiento a algunos de nuestros profesores y personal administrativo del instituto de inglés donde estamos estudiando algunos amigos y yo. Por favor diganme si estoy dando el sentido correcto a mis palabras. Mil gracias

2005年5月16日 · Hi everyone, I was wondering if "of" in this example is neccesary for grammatical correctness, or is it wrong to include "of" here. Thanks in advance for your help. Eugene
