Sometimes "Can I help you?" can be pretty negative. It can mean "You're not one of us." You can use it when someone is in a place that they don't belong in. For example, if there's a man that you've never seen before walking back and forth in front of your house, you can open your door and ask them: Excuse me, sir.
"Helps" is not commonly used as the plural form of help. Places where we can use 'helps' is for 3rd person present tense. Howie is a very good guy who helps catch the bad ones. Help can be used either as a verb or noun depending on the context, but not usually used as plural form.
We use do/does or is/are as question words when we want to ask yes/no questions. We use does and is with third person singular pronouns (he, she, it) and with singular noun forms. We use do and are with other personal pronouns (you, we they) and with plural noun forms.
to give or provide what is necessary to accomplish a task or satisfy a need; contribute strength or means to; render assistance to; cooperate effectively with; aid; assist: He planned to help me with my work. Let me help you with those packages. to save; rescue; succor: Help me, I'm falling!
When deciding whether to use is or are, look at whether the noun is plural or singular. If the noun is singular, use is. If it is plural or there is more than one noun, use are.
The noun people has both a PLURAL sense and a SINGULAR sense. In the PLURAL sense, people is used as the plural of person very frequently. It is a plural count noun and takes a plural verb. It never has an -s ending; it is already plural.
“have been” can be used with would, could, or should preceding it and connecting with an adjective, a past participle acting as an adjective, or an -ing present tense. Ex. “having been” is used with a past participle or just by itself to point to a new or leading statement.
If you said “The wedding will happen tomorrow”, that would be correct. You are talking in simple future tense. If you said “The wedding will happen yesterday”, that would not be using the correct grammatically tense (unless you have a time machine). You would have to say “The wedding happened yesterday”.
Just like “being,” “having” can act as the subject or object in a sentence. Having is always followed by a noun phrase. We have something. Again, we are talking about this situation or condition of having a big house.
So, can we start a sentence with 'Having' and 'Having got'? Yes, it's both correct and common to start a sentence with the 'ing' form of a verb, including the verb 'have'. The verb 'have' does many jobs in English.
A phrase is any group of words that does not contain a subject completing an action. When a group of words contains a subject doing an action (subject-verb), it becomes a clause. Phrases can be added to sentences to make them more complex. Concepts can begin with a single word and develop into a compound sentence.
The correct way to say this would be "I have a headache." With this particular meaning of "have" (roughly, the meaning "possess"), the verb "have" does not have a progressive form.
To have done somethingThis is the infinitive form of the present perfect tense. Remember, we use the present perfect to describe something which has been (recently) completed and still has a bearing on present and/or future circumstances.

Microsoft Word, for example, will run a basic spell check and will correct basic punctuation errors. But that's as far as it goes. It doesn't check for proper sentence structure and it doesn't check context. For example, if you use the wrong “there” a basic spelling check will show that the word is correct.

Best possible means "the best that is possible." Possible best means "it may be the best, but it might not. It isn't certain." So best possible fits better in this context. I'd recommend using it as a modifier rather than a noun, though, e.g., "my best possible effort."
