Select the most appropriate option that can substitute (replace) the bracketed segment in the following sentence.
I look forward (see) you soon.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. to seeing.
Correct Word: to seeing
Meaning: The phrase 'look forward to' is always followed by a noun or a gerund (verb+ing form), not the base form of the verb.
Example: I look forward to meeting you soon.
Meaning of the other options:
into see: Incorrect usage; “into” is not used with “look forward.”
on seeing: “on” is used to show the time something happens, not with “look forward.”
to see: Though “to” is used, it should be followed by verb+ing after “look forward to.”
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
