"My God. it speaks" uttered the Emperor and the receiver of the telephone slipped from his hand and banged around. At the other end Alexander Graham Bell was still on line at an exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. This strange instrument known as telephone was to revolutionize life in the years to come.
Bell was born in at Scotland. he was a teacher and, was dedicated to the noble cause of helping and teaching the deaf and the dumb to hear and speak before going to Canada in 1870 for a serious illness. he, thereafter, moved to the USA but continued with this work by opening a school for the deaf and the dumb.
Bell was fond of scientific and mechanical inventions. While at Boston. he tried to communicate through metal wire. His companion in this work was Watson. Watson was taken by a pleasant surprise as he had heard Bell clearly through his instrument the instrument was a success and Bel patented it.
Graham Bell. apart from being an artist, he was a kind human being. ready to help the needy. He established an institution for the deaf and dumb children. He died in 1922 in Canada. The entire northern America paid him a tribute by hanging up their telephones for a while during his funeral.

After help, we can use object + infinitive (with or without to).
| Can you help me (to) find my ring? (NOT | |
| Thank you so much for helping us (to) repair the car. | |
| Our main task is to help the company (to) become profitable. |
Help can also be followed directly by an infinitive without an object.
| Would you like to help pack? |
If you say that you cannot/can’t help doing something (especially in British English), you mean that you can’t stop yourself, even if you don’t want to do it.
| She’s a selfish woman, but somehow you can’t help liking her. | |
| Excuse me – I couldn’t help overhearing what you said. | |
| Sorry I broke the cup – I couldn’t help it. |
Can’t help can be followed by but + infinitive (without to), with the same meaning as can’t help verb + ing. This is common in American English.
| I can’t help but wonder what I should do next. |
