The prepositions and phrasal verbs....my nigthmare, absolutely!😅

I look forward to improving my skills with these great lessons from you ❤

Usually after "to" comes infinitive, and after "for" comes gerund.
So, "look forward to" must be an exception to this rule.

[englishwithmiranda]

Most people believe the "to" in "look forward to" is the infinitive "to", and therefore use the infinitive "see". We need to know whether the "to" is an infinitive "to" or a preposition.

I look forward to hearing a lot of good lessons, teacher👍

[miodragpopovic]

Very clear and precise explanation 😊😊😊.

.'To' is a preposition as well as infinitive. We are taught ( atleast in india...I don't know about other countries) that after 'to' the simple present forms of verbs must be used. Other forms of the verbs like 'verb + ing', past participle must not be used.

thanks, I'll start memorizing this alongside the rest of the vast and random English grammar.

Again thank lovely Sam, and I look forward to watching from your next shots 🌷🌷🌷

[davevanfunk]

Well explained.
I wish you would do a video on the use of "i" and "me". So many people use "I" after prepositions,
He explained it to my friend and I. s/b to my friend and me. I hear it all the time.

I look forward to seeing you when I am in London. I look forward to meeting you once I am in London and finally I look forward to speaking with you when I arrive in London.

[tammytsang]

I always look forward to seeing your new videos online.

[tammytsang]

Your video is concise and super helpful. Thank you!

The problem is that prepositions don't neatly translate between languages, and most mistakes people make is because they're using prepositions in English in the way they do in their native language

[natalyheyfets]

Short and important explaning. Thank you a lot! ❤

[DSAhmed]

I'd say both are equal "Sorry I'm late" and "Sorry for being late" however, the only difference is assigning cause. "Sorry for being late" implies that it was not necessarily your fault.

[eftitasusarani]

I'm struggling with prepositions too 😮

[channelofredes]

This is SO useful! I really appreciate this video! Thanks a lot, her explanation is so clear and understandable 😊
