- What does “look forward to” mean in English?
It means to think about something in the future with pleasure. To be pleased or excited that something is going to happen.
The form and grammar rules are as follows.
look forward to + noun phrase
Example: "I'm looking forward to the weekend."
look forward to + ing form (gerund)
Example: Mark is looking forward to buying a house.
We do NOT use the infinitive / base form of the verb:
"I'm looking forward to meet you." (wrong)
If the second verb has a different subject, we use the object pronoun.
Example: "I'm looking forward to HIM visiting me next week."
We do NOT use the subject pronoun:
"look forward to" is very common in written English. We often use it at the end of a letter or email. It's a polite way of telling someone to do something. We use the present simple form:
Example: "I look forward to your reply."

Hello Andrew! I am confused a little bit. On the 8th min of the video is shown such sentence as "Mark is visiting me next week." So can we use Present continuous in this case with the words for future tense "next week"? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Thanks.
perfect!
Mr andrew
Hi
I wanted to say that if you just could record more about tenses
You know in my opinion your videos in this field are good but not enough.
It could be more wonderful if you record about tenses with more details and many more examples. I wish you attention to this comment and answer.
Im a big subscriber if your channel
Im looking forward to your next videos.

Hello Andrew! How are you? I have a question. I wonder can i use this expression in the past and in the future tenses? For example: I was looking forward to meeting her. I will be looking forward to meeting her. Many thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm very well. Thanks for your comment and question.
Yes, those expressions are grammatically correct.
We would perhaps say "I was looking forward to meeting her" if we change our opinion about someone.
Example: "I *was* looking forward to meeting her but then I discovered that she is not a good person." (Therefore I am no longer looking forward to meeting her!)
I hope that helps you.
Best wishes
Andrew
Hello Andrew! It means the world to me! Very professional explanation. I look forward to your new lessons! 👍 I used "look forward to" cause i am writing to you. I hope it is correct.

Hello, look forward to or looking forward to which is common in conversation??
Because of being frasal verb "look forward to" is following with "ing" form of the verb. I looked forward to your reply. I will look forward to your reply.
Hi Andrew!
I were looking forward to your new lesson.
Is it correct?
Have a nice day!

Hello.
Small correction: "I *was* looking forward to your new lesson."
Best wishes
Andrew
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Can I say " I am looking forward to Mark visiting me next week" instead of object pronoun?
Hello Andrew !
The lesson of " look forward to " is very interesting and insightful. Strictly speaking, it is the first time in my career as an English learner that I receive an explanation of such expression. Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment in teaching the English Language worldwide.
By and large, throughout the whole year, you have worked restlessly in providing us new video lesson every now and then. Great ! As we are near the season`s greetings, I take this opportunity to wish you a very merry Christmas and happy New Year 2018 filled with health, love, peace, happiness and prosperity. Please do relax, enjoy and have fun with all your loved ones.
I look forward to seeing you next year with new resolutions.
With the very best wishes,
Yours,
Fazil
I am looking forward to see another video very soon.
I think the correct form is " to seeing " .
Don't forget to use the ING form - I am looking forward to *seeing* another video soon.
Thanks for your comment.
Best wishes.
Andrew
I'm looking forward to SEEING .....(second form), .but it's better to say or write: I lOOK forward to SEEING.....but "look forward" is very common in written English, in this case I think is better to write your sentence so: "I hope to see another video very soon" because is not verified of a second video with this topic.
if you watched the video there's a small correction note of Crown Academy when you say:"forward to see" ("forward to seeing" is the correct).
we are playing football next week and I'm excited about it
can I say?
I looking forward to us playing football next week .
I look forward to watching your learning channels next time.is that sentence is correct.
I'm looking forward to watching your new video
👌👌💖💖💖
I love British accent.
Hi' Andrew..therefore this sentence is wrong? "looking forward to hear you soon" please your advise..
We always use gerund form after looking forward therefore looking forward to hearing
I'm looking forward to my friend's wedding
Is it correct or not?
Someone told me the sentence is correct.
"Ria's looking forward to start her new job next week."
Marcelo is looking forward to buying a new car.
