“I can assist you with that.”

Share this lesson:

You work at a clothing store. A customer looks like he's ready to check out. You want to offer to help him, so you say:

I can assist you with that.

assist (someone) with (something)

The word "assist" means "help" but is more formal. Use it with customers and other people that you need to speak to respectfully:

How can I assist you?

Can you assist this gentleman with his question?

I can assist you with that.

This is a sentence that employees at stores (like clothing stores, etc.) say to offer help to customers.
