How do you say "Thanks for helping me," and any expression with a preposition (for, by) and a verb in "-ing."

"Thanks for helping me" =

*Ευχαριστώ που με βοήθησες.* (singular) or

*Ευχαριστώ που με βοηθήσατε.* (Plural) or

*Eυχαριστώ για τη βοήθεια*.

 

Another example could be "Thanks for lifting me" which is translated:

*Ευχαριστώ που με σήκωσες.* (singular) or

*Ευχαριστώ που με σηκώσατε.* (Plural) or

*Eυχαριστώ για το σήκωμα*. (not really used)

 

I would not make any rule about these.  The most common way to translate verb + for + ing  form in Greek is verb (ευχαριστώ) + που + verb in past tense (βοήθησες) or verb (ευχαριστώ) + για + noun in accusative case (τη βοήθεια). Also I cannot think of an expression using the "by".  If you can give me an example, I would be happy to translate it.
