Henry can speak French.
Do you understand this?
I will help you with your work, but:
Hob ought to work harder.
HOB: I used to work harder when I didn't know so much as I do now. MR. PRIESTLEY: The bare infinitive is used also after a number of other verbs, e.g.
She saw him take the money.
I heard her sing.
The boys wanted to watch the train go out.
Let me have your homework now.
That made me laugh.
We have just seen the infinitive used without to, but sometimes the to is used without the infinitive, e.g.
I shall go if I want to (go).
Hob never works harder than he needs to (work).
"Will you come and see me?" "I should love to" (come).

Great Britons (5): Captain Scott
MR. PRIESTLEY: You know, I am sure, about one Scott, Sir Walter, who will be immortal as long as the English language is read. Here is another Scott, immortal, too, as long as men still admire heroism and endurance.
In 1910 Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his crew set sail in the Terra Nova in an attempt to discover the South Pole. They made their base at Cape Evans and planned the journey to the Pole in three stages.
First there was the crossing of the Barrier, a great plain of ice of nearly 500 miles. Over this Scott planned to send as much food and other stuff as he could by motor sledges. When these could go no farther, dogs and ponies would take the load as much farther forward as they could. The motors took them the first 50 miles, then the ponies and dogs and men continued the journey south. Some of the ponies had to be shot as food for them was running short, but at last the plain was crossed. An even more difficult stage lay before them now, for towering in front of them ros6 a great range of mountains, in parts over 9,000 feet high and covered with ice. But through the range flowed a glacier and to climb this would be the next stage of the journey.
At the foot of the glacier they killed the remaining ponies (some of them had already died), cut up the meat and buried it so that it would provide food for the return journey. The dogs and some of the men now went back, but three sledges, each pulled by four men, set off on the next stage. It was a terrible journey; the snow was so soft that often they sank to their knees in it, and the heavy sledges were very difficult to move through it. Some of the men suffered from snow blindness, and most of them were already feeling the strain of the journey. Still they struggled on, nine hours a day, with resolute courage. It was the hope of reaching the Pole that made the journey endurable.
Scott watched the men carefully. He had decided that the final dash of 150 miles would be made by four men and himself, and he had to make up his mind which of the men he would choose. Finally he made his choice. In addition to Scott himself there was Dr. E.A.Wilson ("Uncle Bill"), surgeon and artist, a deeply learned man of a most lovable nature, brave, gentle and saintly. Then there was Lieutenant Bowers, small in body but a giant in soul; Captain L.E.G. Oates and finally there was Edgar Evans, a British seaman, a huge fellow, as strong as a horse and unfailingly cheerful. These were the immortal five.
On 3rd January 1912, when the South Pole was 150 miles away, the seven men left behind said good-bye and cheered the five who were to go on, five brave souls who would never again see living faces except one another's. Scott expected they would be at the Pole in a fortnight. For thirteen months nothing was heard of them, but from Scott's diaries we know all there is to be known.
