ENG(i am looking forward to )

因為 look forward to 後面是配上一個 clause，而非像一般的 to 般後面配上 bare infinitive。這裡的 seeing you 是一個 participle，即一個 clause。


look forward to 後面用 ing 是固定的用法，記了它吧。

I am reading = I read to you too?

look forward to = 期待，三個字是一組的。
look forward to 後要跟名詞（noun），期待一樣野。

I am looking forward to the reply.
I am looking forward to the holidays.

我期待見你，不是我期待去見你，見你（see you）是動作但要轉做名詞，將動作轉名詞是在動詞後加 -ing 變成動名詞，（加 -ing 後動名詞叫gerund，是一個動作的名詞）

I am looking forward to seeing you. = 我期待見你（這事情）。

你講乜野﹖

呢度既TO唔係to-infinitive
而係一個Preposition 姐係同FOR,IN,ON呢D一樣 後面要加gerund
所以係用ing

I am looking forward to [noun or noun phrase].

I am looking forward to your reply.
I am looking forward to your recovery.
I am looking forward to seeing you again.
I am looking forward to meeting you soon.

所以要用動詞的時候，改成動名詞 gerund。
