Why can no one help me?
Is the sentence correct? Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
yes.
you could also ask --
Why can't anyone help me?
@Region Philbis,
Thanks, Region.
Why no one can help me? Is this sentence OK?
@tanguatlay,
That reads more like a sentence fragment than a sentence.

It's an adverbial phrase, not a sentence.
"Why can no one help me?" is a complete sentence. It is a group of words that makes complete sense, contains a main verb, and begins with a capital letter.

Quote:Sentences are used:
to make statements:
I took some money out of the bank.
The shop stays open until 9 p.m.
to ask questions or make requests:
Can I help you?
Could you open the door?
to give orders:
Stop arguing!
Come here at once!
to express exclamations:
You’re driving too fast!
It’s so cold!
Here's how your statements might be used:
I am confused as to why no one can help me.
Why no one can help me is distressing.
Can no one help me with this problem?
There is nothing at all wrong with the original sentence.
