As my purse was stolen, I couldn't help but feel/felt helpless.
Which word should I use?
Many thanks.
Feel is the appropriate word here.
As my purse was stolen, I felt helpless, is another way that the sentence could have been constructed.

The correct verb is 'feel'. Is it because of the implied 'to'?
Thanks again.
