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?

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
