✕Common Mistakes
Ça me fait plaisir de à t'aider aussi.
The verb 'aider' does not take the preposition 'à' when the object is a pronoun; use the direct object pronoun 'te' (t').
Je fait plaisir de t'aider.
The verb must agree with the subject: 'je fais plaisir' is correct, but the idiomatic expression is 'ça me fait plaisir'.
Ça me fait plaisir de t'aider aussi.
When speaking formally, replace the informal 't'' with the polite 'vous' – 'de vous aider'.

Cultural Tip
In French, 'Ça me fait plaisir' is a friendly, slightly informal way to express pleasure. In more formal settings you might prefer 'C’est un plaisir' or 'Je suis enchanté de…'. Remember that the verb 'aider' takes a direct object pronoun (te/t') without a preposition, unlike English 'to help you'.
