3. Kata kerja tertentu (certain verbs): HELP

-  Although Dr. Ribley spent an extra class period helping us understand logarithms, we still bombed the test.

Namun menurut BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv226.shtml) tidak ada perbedaan penggunaan "infinitive to" dan "infinitive without to (bare infinitive)" ketika dipakai pada kata "HELP".
Menurut BBC:
Help is a verb that can be used with or without to and with or without an object before the infinitive. When we use it without an infinitive it sometimes sounds more informal. 
Compare the following:
- Could you help me to look for my car keys? I can't find them anywhere.
- Could you help me look for my car keys? I can't find them anywhere.
- Would you like to help to cook dinner tonight? It's late and I'm feeling tired.
- Would you like to help cook dinner tonight? It's late and I'm feeling tired.





Perbedaan penggunaannya hanyalah bahwa infinitive to lebih bersifat FORMAL (resmi).

Perbedaan "like" dan "like to"

Using a gerund suggests that you are referring to real activities or experiences.
Using an infinitive suggests that you are talking about potential or possible activities or experiences.

Examples:

• The British reporter likes living in New York. (He lives in New York and he likes what he experiences there.)
• The British reporter likes to live in New York whenever he works in the United States. (He likes the option or possibility of living in New York when he works in the United States)
