Question

'I am looking forward to seeing you.'

为什么这个句子是正确的啊？to 后面不是一定要base word吗

To后面几时可以用continuous 几时不可以用？

其实，这一题很久以前在Ewenda 就问过了：https://ewenda.ekamus.info/70388/i-am-looking-foward-to-hearing-from-you-soon-%E5%AF%B9%E5%90%97%EF%BC%9F?show=70388#q70388

Answer 1

这是因为”looking forward to“是一个phrasal verb，比较特别。这个phrasal verb 的后面只能放noun（名词），而”see“是一个动词，”seeing“才算一个名词，它可以理解成”看你“的这个动作这样。

比如：looking forward to the next science class，science class 就是一个noun。
