What is the difference between to+verb and to+verb-ing #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 20, 2009 21:14 pm   What is the difference between to+verb and to+verb-ing
 

Hello,
can someone please tell me when should I use to+verb and when to use to+verb-ing?
Which one is correct:
1. I'm looking forward to hear from you
2. I'm looking forward to hearing from you
In the test I've, the second answer is the correct one, but why?
Thanks alot for your help...
