 Need advice on the use of gerund, thanks teachers! Happy New Year! Wishing you and everyone here a year full of luck, happiness, good health and wealth!  Q1: Would teachers here explain why we have to add "ing" to the word "see" below: I look forward to seeing you soon. OR I look forward to receiving your reply soon. Q2: Can I write: He is 2.26m and 125kg for height and weight respectively. Does it seem muddled? Thanks sooooooo much, Help Wanted  Last edited by Help Wanted; 02-Jan-2006 at 04:29. |

| Re: Need advice on the use of gerund, thanks teachers! If you have a phrasal verb with three words, the last being 'to', then it is followed by a gerund. We use the gerund after 'to' with a number of expressions- object/be committed, etc. It's unnecessary- no one is 125kg tall, so you're not adding anything essential: He is 2.26m and 125kg.  |
