Why is the future tense of 돕다, 도울 거예요?
My notes say:
If the vowel before ㅂ is 오, change ㅂ to 오.
If the vowel before ㅂ is not 오, change ㅂ to 우.
So I'm confused why it's 도울 and not 도올 for the future tense of 돕다.

ㅂirregular verb/adjective rule is:
When a word stem with final consonant ㅂ + a particle start with vowel,
ㅂ changed 우 or 오.
* ㅂ => 오 (only with 아 vowel) => 와
돕다, 곱다.
돕(다) + 아요 => 도와요
곱(다) + 아요 => 고와요
c.f.
돕(다) + 으면 => 도우면
곱(다) + 으면 => 고우면
* ㅂ => 우
어렵다, 쉽다, 덥다, 춥다, 귀엽다, 아름답다, 맵다, 눕다, 줍다.
덥(다) + 어요 => 더워요
Thus,
돕(다) + 을 거예요 => 도울 거예요.

But you rarely use that verb alone. You usually use it with either 주(시)다 or 드리다.
