Dictionary Form: 돕다
It is an IRREGULAR ㅂ verb: Special rules apply if conjugating the verb adds a vowel immediately after
Polite Form: adds 아요 (because of ㅗ)
Therefore, irregular rule tells you to drop ㅂ and add 오
돕다 --> 도오 + 아요 --> 도와요
Formal Form: adds 습니다 (Don't apply irregular rule because ㅅ is not a vowel)
돕다 --> 돕 + 습니다 --> 돕습니다
*Note, usually the ㅂ-irregular is to add 우 but this is an even more irregular case that adds 오 instead
