Re: To look forward to

Hi Manicku

1) Other than the fact that one is the simple present tense and the other is present continuous tense, the main difference to me is that "I'm looking forward to" sounds a little friendlier and "I look forward to" sounds a little more formal.

2) The phrasal verb "look forward to" is never followed by an infinitive. The word 'to' is a prepostition in this case and you always need the -ing form of a verb after a preposition.
