You would think SG is error-free when it comes to English, but I saw this advertisement in MRT
"HELP US TO FULFILL THEIR WISHES"
This is grammatically incorrect.
It should be : "HELP US FULFILL THEIR WISHES"
On a related note, I have always wondered which one of the followings is correct, when speaking to my daughters
1. Sit in the chair
2. Sit on the chair
Google seems to point to the first sentence as the correct answer.

I have always wondered if "help XXX to" is correct, could you point me to the source that says this form is incorrect?
I think both "sit on the chair" and "sit in the chair" are correct. They emphasize different things.
While I was in a cruise the other day, a sign nearby my bed states, "Do Not Smoke in Bed".
I was thinking the same question when smoking, "If one of my legs still hanging at the edge of the bed, am I "in the bed" or on the bed"?"
