Can anyone help me revise this sentence,and correct the ambiguous pronoun reference?
The problem is the referent of the two hers. Is the first "her" Anna or Lena? What about the second "her"? You'd need to rewrite "we asked her for her credentials" in some way that reflects what you mean. 'We asked Anna for her credentials when she brought Lena" would take care of it, but only if that's what happened, if it was Anna who was asked for her credentials. Or, depending on what the case is, When Anna brought Lena to the conference, we asked Anna for Lena's credentials.

Is this sentence correct, "He helps anyone"? Why?
Had you written: “He helps anyone.”, the sentence would have been correct, grammatically.Had you written: “He helps anyone!”, the sentence would still have been correct, grammatically.Had you written: “He helps anyone?”, the sentence would have been wrong, as it should have been: “Does he help anyone?”.The point is that you did not complete the sentence; the punctuation is glaring in its omission. One needs to use proper punctuation in a sentence to impart it the intended role and meaning.Besides, ‘anyone’ is best used in an interrogatory sentence, eg “Anyone there?”. In a declarative statement, it is usually unfit, unless you wished to convey that ‘he offers help indiscriminately, to the unworthy, or to the undeserving’. If you wished to mean that he is ‘not choosy, not circumspect’ in offering help, then ‘everyone’ might be a better word.

Is it correct to use "will" after "anyone who" in the sentence "Anyone who will fail the exam won't be allowed to get a scholarship"?
Actually, the sentence is discussing a hypothetical, except if this is a professor from one’s worst nightmare, who grades exams specifically to fail a certain percentage of the class.If the professor was that kind of character, certain that some students will fail, even if all scores are perfect and a poor unlucky one has to be picked at random for failure to show their work, then the sentence would not use the indefinite “anyone”. Instead, the professor might say, “Those who will fail the exam will not be allowed to get a scholarship. Hee, hee. Hah, hah.” [Rubbing flat palms against each other.]Suppose the professor starts with the more definite “those”. But the professor does not want his plan to be known, or he just wants to goad the class to over-prepare for the test. He may say, “Those who fail the exam will not be allowed to get a scholarship.” The “will” of “will fail” is dropped. But the use of “those” may cause the students to look around the room for the weakest. “Anyone” may not have the same effect.The gist of the rule is that the statement is a supposition of the hypothetical future. Using “will” communicates a degree of certainty that is not extant in the context, nor even possible in combination with “anyone”.

How can I correct this sentence, "he is too generous to help you"?
The construction “too + adjective + to + verb” can give both a positive sense and a negative sense.Examples:He is too weak to walk. ( Meaning “he is so weak that he can not walk”.) ( negative sense)He is too good to help you. ( Meaning “he is so good that he can/ will help you.) (positive sense)So, the sentence which you have written is correct.He is too generous to help you. ( Meaning “he is so generous that he will / can help you.) ( positive sense )However, if you think that the construction gives only negative sense, then you can correct your sentence by using an opposite adjective of generous.Correct: He is too unkind/ miser / ungenerous to help you. ( Meaning “he is so unkind/ miser/ ungenerous that he can not / will not help you”.) ( negative sense )Thanks.
