Small acts, big impact — discover the power of everyday kindness.
The phrase “It is helpful of someone to do [something]” is used to praise or acknowledge a person’s kind or useful action. It highlights that the action went beyond what was expected and made a positive difference.
Example: “It was helpful of Maria to carry my groceries upstairs.”
