Don’t be fooled by, yet help until out of trouble (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
see through
'don't be' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fooled by yet help until out of trouble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'by' could be 'through' (I've seen this before) and 'through' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'see' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for see through that I've seen before include "Help out the needy" , "thin clothes" , "sheer?" , "Stay to the end" , "not be taken in" .)
