When preposition "for" meets the "verbs"...

[Rebecca L.]

I find it's difficult to use "for" together with the verbs. Sometimes, it seems we have to add -ing form to the verb following "for".But sometimes don't. How can we use it correctly? :wink:

Please help me out...

Hi,

The use of the 'ing' form usually comes after all prepositions except for 'to'.

We have examples like:

I want you to help me by giving me some money

He thanked everyone for working so hard.

She left after finishing her work.

Remember the exception - I look forward to seeing you on the forum.

Alan
