I think “prêter main forte” is an expression you will mostly find in older books.
There is also “donner un coup de main”, which is much more common.
Donne-moi un coup de main!
similar to English, give me a hand not lend me a hand.
If you say lend me a hand, someone would joke, I want it back.
That’s pretty funny… ![]()
