Is the phrase 'look to see' OK?

[Daemon99]

Can some one please tell me if the following sentence (in italics) is OK?

Steve! I am getting an error. Would you look to see why?

Don't forget that 'someone' should be written as one word. :wink:

Oh, yes, it is certainly common usage these days, but that doesn't make it grammatically correct. One should instead say "would you look at seeing why?" Don't use "look to" with a verb, only with a noun. e.g. "I look to my friend for advice," or "I'm looking at doing something else."

Bad start here, Bob.

Blues look to end streak
India look to break dead-rubber jinx
Ultracapacitors look to fit into energy storage
etc.

That's fine, too, in conversation. 'Take a look' is more friendly, as it suggests a short examination.

Hi,

It's probably just me, but I don't really recall people around me saying "look to see".
More often they'd say "can you look into it" and, as nick suggested, "take a look".
