How would I translate the phrase:
"When she heard this, she knew she had to help."
Would it be: Cuando ella oyó este, ella sabía que tuvo ayudar.
thanks!

You´re close. A more natural way would be: "Al oír esto, sabía que tenía que ayudar."

as far as I know, that's correct. I'd probably say something similar
