Relationships
come to someone's rescue
help someone in difficulty
If you come to someone's rescue, you help them when they are in a difficult situation.
Hear it in real life
How did you get home after your motorbike broke down?
A friend came to my rescue.
My neighbour came to my rescue when I locked myself out.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: My brother came at my rescue.
Say: My brother came to my rescue.
The fixed expression uses "to someone's rescue," not "at someone's rescue."
