Aid someone in a hole? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
help out
This clue could be a double definition.
'aid' is the first definition.
(I know that help out is a more specific form of aid)
'someone in a hole?' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for help out that I've seen before include "Assist as in a crisis - to leave house?" , "Lend a hand" , "Give assistance" .)
