Guest:

It would greatly appreciated if you could help me to point the one that is a sentence with correct grammar:
1. I look forward to hearing from you
OR
2. I look forward to hear from you
OR
3. I am looking forward to hear from you.

4. We produce report without comprising quality and accuracy
5. We produce report without comprise to quality and accuracy.

Thanks a bunch.

maj:

1. The correct one. Look+ forward+ to + gerund.
4. The correct one. Without (prep) + gerund.

Yep - it can be mentioned that in
1. "to" is a preposition, not part of an infinitive, so a gerund has to follow. Emotion: smile

Unfortunately both 4 and 5 have other errors. May I suggest;
We produce reports without 'compromising/compromise to' quality or accuracy.
or
We produced a/the report without 'compromising/compromise to' quality or accuracy.

or we produce reports without compromising to quality or accuracy. ( I still don't like this sentence. Who would buy reports that do not offer quality or accuracy? You never know, though.)

kitkattail:

"Without compromise to" means "without sacrificing"; so basically, the sentence means that the company maintains quality and accuracy while producing reports.

"compromising" is ok but you used "comprising, comprise" in the original sentence.

Guest:

When in doubt take out or use other terms such as
"I hear you" and "I am hearing you" If you choose to use a verb, "look," following the choice with the verb as in "I am..." "I LOOK forward to hearING from you."

4 and 5 are both incorrect. "We produce reportS without comprOMising quality and accuracy." or "We can produce a report without comprOMising quality or accuracy."

3B = i am looking forward to hearing from you (would be ok as well), but still not as good as number 1 in my opinion
