    OK well if the sheetrock is really bad then you would need to replace the damaged section.

    If the board is not very weak but the problem is only a crack or cracks then repair with scrim or plasterers tape. Place lengths over the crack then cover with plaster, ask your diy store for what plasters they offer, sometimes products differ. You want to cover the area to be repaired as flat as possible so that you don't creat a noticeable bump.
    Wait for cealing to dry then texture the affected area to match the cealing or re texture the whole cealing... hope I helped.
