Bien Sudao'

[Alfonso]

To me, it's much more colloquial and common gracias por la ayuda.


Of course, the other options you've written are also correct. However, I would add a direct complement to make it more sensical and closer to the Spanish from Spain:

• Gracias por ayudarme.
• Gracias por haberme ayudado.

Sí, Alfonso, Gracias. Tienes toda la razón.

Nota a mi mismo: Lee en voz alta todo lo que vas a escribir para ver si está bien.

• Gracias por ayudarme.
• Gracias por haberme ayudado.

I realize it must be hard to keep up with which English adjectives have a comparative, and which don't, but close does: to make it more sensical and closer to the Spanish from Spain. More close is very awkward.

Very nice correction, Gatito!

[writerscramp1107]

So, I can say...

Gracias por la ayuda - Thank you for the help
Gracias por ayudarme - Thank you for helping me.
Gracias por haber ayudado - Thanks for having helped (after)
Gracias por haberme ayudado - Thanks for having helped me
Gracias por ayudar - Thanks for helping (Before or while)

Wow. Thank you!

All are OK, but
Gracias por haber ayudado - Thanks for having helped (after)
gramatically OK, but sounds odd....
better:
-gracias por tu/su/vuestra ayuda
or the already sayed
- gracias por haberme ayudado
- gracias por la ayuda
saludos

I learn a lot from you native guys's (which I love to say though its god-awful English) mistakes. Like when Alfonso said full of sense. I immediately checked lleno de sentido in my browser and, sure enough, that's how you'd say sensical.

[poli]

Not to be contradictory, but you say sensical? I've heard nonsensical a lot, and it would be natural that sensical would be commonly used, but it's new to me. Nevertheless sensical does make sense. Excuse the pun--that's logical
Besides makes sense and that's logical, sensible is a better choice than sensical or full of sense.
