A: The correct grammatical form for the sentence is:

"They would help me if it were necessary."

A:

It’s the same as – to exclude – except that it tells us something extra: because of the circumstances, the thing being precluded was never going to be included, because it does not fit the criteria.

Vegans don’t drink milk – so they do not fit the criteria for the drug trial. They were excluded before the trial ever began, because this trial has no way of including them.

“The cameras in the forest only work during the day, so this precludes the study of nighttime creatures like owls“

If you only have visuals from the daytime, there was never any possibility of studying creatures who live at night, like owls.
