Forgotten words from Yesteryear

Could be either or mate in my opinion. He’s going to try to lead or his is going to try and also by example lead

My question would be “What’s he going ‘to try’?” Surely, the answer is “to lead,” no?

Or try to be an example by leading

Or try to be an example by leading

OK, what am I missing?

I’m trying to get to the fact that the word “and” isn’t correct and the word “to” would be correct. Isn’t that the case?

“To try TO lead” not “to try and lead.”

“To try and lead” is to attempt two distinct things, whereas “to try to lead” is to attempt one specific thing!

The first suggests they can lead the second suggests they are going to try to lead ?

I think we have reached a stalemate, as I don’t agree, and so let’s leave as friends with questions.
