❌I’m looking forward to see you
✅I’m looking forward to seeing you
🔍عبارت look forward to یک فعل عبارتی (phrasal verb) هست که بعدش همیشه باید یا اسم (noun) بیاد یا فعل با ing.
تو این جمله، چون داریم درباره یه کار (دیدن کسی) حرف میزنیم، باید از فعل به شکل gerund یعنی seeing استفاده کنیم.
یعنی:
✅I’m looking forward to your visit. (اسم)
✅I’m looking forward to seeing you. (فعل با ing)
🚫ولی نمیتونیم بگیم:
❌I’m looking forward to see you. ← چون “to” اینجا حرف اضافه است، نه بخشی از مصدر.
