why does the phrasal verb "sort of" go before the verb "helps" in this context? ( It sort of helps people say, "You are part of my life". ) Is it correct that the word "helps" is a verb in this context? If yes, could you explain why the phrasal verb "sort of" goes before the verb "helps"? Because I often see that the phrasal verb "sort of" goes before a noun. I see this sentence in this video: https://www.voicetube.com/videos/59827 Thank you in advance.
