Tips on becoming a great writer?
I love to write, I am currently a college student trying to decide between being a journalist or a lawyer. I eventually want to be a full time fiction writer. Any advice?
I'm looking forward to see you/I'm looking forward to seeing you, which one is correct and why?
Both are grammatically correct and acceptable, but for different reasons. The English infinitive is “to + a verb’s main form” (here “see”), so “I’m looking forward to see you” is one correct use of the English infinitive.But if we consider “look forward to” as a set phrase, the correct object of “to” should be a noun, or a noun form of some sort. Here “seeing” is one way to turn the verb “see” into a noun. So just as “I’m looking forward to Christmas” is grammatically correct (Christmas is a noun), “I’m looking forward to seeing…” is also grammatically correct, because “seeing” is a noun form of the verb “to see”. (Seeing is believing. Seeing him again was nice.)Of these two, I should think most native English speakers would choose the second option more often.
