Relationships
rely on someone
trust someone to be dependable
If you rely on someone, you trust them to help you or do what they have promised.
Hear it in real life
Who can fix this if you're not here?
You can rely on Minh to sort it out.
I rely on my neighbour to collect my parcels when I'm away.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I rely ‸ someone to help me.
Say: I rely on someone to help me.
The verb “rely” always takes the preposition “on” before the person or thing.
