	Fandorin  +  631447 Mon, 05 Jan 09 04:18 PM Hi. look forward to is a basic construction which annexes just ing-form not infinitive. I'm looking forward to seeing them. (You cannot say "...to see them). We have had so wonderful evening in the restaraunt, eating tenderloin and drinking wine that I always look forward to returning there. I would advice you to make up something, it's the best way for improving. By the way, your question is rather vague. I hope I have pondered it in the right way.

	Tanit  +  631488 Mon, 05 Jan 09 05:03 PM Hi Kaki, Are you looking for something like these six?     I admit to being selfish.     I confess to being selfish.     I object to being called "selfish".     I am used to being called "selfish".     I am getting used to being called "selfish".     I am getting accustomed to being called "selfish". It's difficult (for me!) to write a complete list. As a general rule, we have "to + -ing "  when a verb can be followed by to (preposition) + noun. The -ing form of a verb (in this structure!) is called "gerund", and works as a noun. So we can have:       I look forward to your reply.                       (<-- to + noun)     I look forward to hearing from you.          (<-- to + gerund)     He confessed to the murder.                     (<-- to + noun)     He confessed to being the murderer.     (<-- to + gerund) Did I misunderstand your question? (Sorry if I did!) Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 Senior Member 3,040 There is no greater pain than to remember a happy time when one is in misery. (Dante) Prepositions, Nouns, Gerunds, Apologies

This list might be incomplete, but it helps. look forward to V-ing resort to V-ing submit to V-ing confess to V-ing give in to V-ing admit to V-ing with regards to V-ing be accustomed to V-ing be addicted to V-ing be opposed to V-ing be limited to V-ing be dedicated to V-ing be commited to  V-ing be used to V-ing Tanit Regards
