Meeting you and to meet you? [closed]

"To look forward to" - It's all about "to" which in this case is a preposition, not an infinitive marker. And we know that if we use a verb after a preposition, it should be in the gerund.

e.g.

  • "I'm looking forward to my holidays." ("to" followed by a noun)
  • "I'm looking forward to my retirement."
  • "I'm looking forward to visiting Paris again."
  • "I'm looking forward to meeting you."

or "I look forward to ....ing"


After the expression "to look forward to", you always use the gerund if you are using a verb.

It has to be: "I look forward to meeting you."

"I look forward to meet you." - This is incorrect.
