Does need The verb "speak" the preposition "to"❓

2) They were doing that for to speak with him
3) They were doing that to speak with him

The third option is the only right one. You can't use an infinitive after a preposition (for), only a gerund.

I agree with the others. FYI, you may occasionlly see 'FOR TO' instead of just 'TO' but it's archaic, and or dialect, so you shouldn't use it.
Ex: from the song 'Whisky in the jar': "I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber"
