  1. just change 'any' to 'some' :-)


  2. "I hope I've been of *some* help" is a bit more natural.

    cheers!

  3. It is not grammatically incorrect; however it is more common to say "I hope I have been of some help."

  4. I hope I've been of some help.

    I hope that's helpful.

    I hope that's of some help to you.

    I hope you find that helpful.

    I hope I've been able to help.

    I hope that helps.

    Any of these would do, but not your original suggestion.

  5. "I hope I've been of some help" is correct.

    Also:

    "I hope I have been able to help you."

    "I hope I was able to help."

    "I hope I helped."

  6. I agree that "I hope I have been of some help" is the correct form, but what's wrong with the simple expression: "I hope I have been of help"?

  7. Uh.  I'm not a native, but yeah.

    That is fine.

  8. "I hope I've been helpful" is the best in my opinion. its more colloquial.  

  9. fly leo said it  

  10. i hope i've been of some help is better

  11. I hope I've been of some help.

    (And so do I!)

  12. It's not wrong in any way that most native English speakers would notice, but it would be more correct to say "I hope I have been helpful"

  13. ... some help.
