To Wilma aka Junka aka Rita aka Franco:
None of what you wrote are sentences.
Franco, Jutta, Wilma, or whoever -- there's no need to keep changing names. It's clear to us that all the questions are coming from the same computer.
A person who helps others
A person who helps the others???
The first one implies that the person will help all other people (not specifying anyone). The second one implies that he will help specific "others."
A person who likes working so much
Or
A person who likes so much working??
These are incomplete, not full sentences, so it's hard to tell. The first one seems to mean that the person just LOVES to work! The second one means about the same thing, but is awkwardly phrased.
The difference between the two sentences you provided lies in the placement of the word "the" before "others" and "working." Let's break it down:
1. "A person who helps others" - In this sentence, the word "the" is not used before "others." Without "the," the sentence implies that the person helps more generally, without specifying any particular group or individuals.
2. "A person who helps the others" - In this sentence, the word "the" is used before "others." By including "the," the sentence suggests that the person helps a specific group of individuals, likely mentioned or understood in the context.
When determining which is correct, it depends on the intended meaning. If you want to convey that the person helps any others in general, then "A person who helps others" is appropriate. However, if there is a specific group of individuals in mind that the person is helping, then "A person who helps the others" would be more suitable.
Regarding the second set of sentences:
1. "A person who likes working so much" - In this sentence, the word "so" is used as an adverb to describe the extent or degree of liking. It modifies the verb "likes" and precedes the adjective "much," which describes the intensity of the like for working.
2. "A person who likes so much working" - In this sentence, the word "so" is used as an intensifier to modify the adverb "much." It emphasizes the degree of liking for working and comes after the adjective "much."
In this case, "A person who likes working so much" is the correct sentence. The placement of "so" before "much" more accurately conveys the intended meaning of having a strong preference or enjoyment for working.
