“I Look Forward to See You” (So Close!)

English learners are very polite.

Sometimes too polite.

You write an email. You want to be professional. You write:

👉 “I look forward to see you.”

Almost perfect. Just one small English trick…

❌ “I Look Forward to See You”

✅ “I Look Forward to Seeing You”

In English, look forward to is followed by -ing.

Not because English is logical. Because English likes surprises.

So we say:

• I look forward to seeing you

• I look forward to meeting you

• I look forward to hearing from you

Think of to here like a friend of -ing 🤝

❌ “I Very Like It”

✅ “I Like It Very Much”

English word order is shy.

It does not like very before like.

So we say:

• I like it very much

• I like coffee very much

• I like English (maybe… not very much yet 😅)

  
  

❌ “I Am Here Since 2020”

✅ “I Have Been Here Since 2020”

This one is tricky.Very tricky.

But the idea is simple:

If something started in the past and continues now, English uses:👉 have / has been

Examples:

• I have been here since 2020

• She has been a teacher for five years

• We have been tired all day

  
  

And yes — English has many tenses. No — you don’t need all of them today.
