What's the difference between 'I look forward...' vs I'm looking forward...? #1 (permalink) Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:16 am   What's the difference between 'I look forward...' vs I'm looking forward...?
 

1 : "I shall send you a new rule each day, till seven days"

2 : "I look forward to helping you" AND "I'm looking forward to helping you" What's the difference between above two sentences?

3 : "I trust her that's why I gave her my password but she broke the trust by changing the password" correct?

1 : I shall send you a new rule each day for seven days.

2 : "I look forward to helping you" AND "I'm looking forward to helping you" What's the difference between above two sentences?-- The second is more eager, informal and friendly.

3 : "I trust her; that's why I gave her my password, but she broke the trust by changing it.

Hello Twilit1988,

By bolding certain parts of your sentences, especially the third one, Mister Micawber is trying to tell you that punctuation is just as important as words; and 'Thanks Mister Micawber' is no way near up to the standard.

Take care,
