Default Re: to verb+ing

Hi,
mykwyner's tip is really helpful, but I think you must learn to distinguish 'to' preposition from 'to' as part of the infinitve. For that purpose, try adding a noun, noun group or pronoun after 'to', if it makes sense then 'to' is a preposition, if it doesn't it is part of the infinitive.
I have no objections to your proposals. (to--> preposition... object to doing sth)
I listen to the radio; I look forward to your reply...
Regards.
