Sentences like I look forward to hearing from you may seem strange, if you expect the verb in every to + verb structure to be the infinitive. The point is that to is really two different words. One of them is just a sign of the infinitive. (It is used with most infinitives, but is left out in some cases, for example after can or must.) I want to go home. You can go home now. The other to is a preposition. Laurence has gone to Denmark. I'm looking forward to Christmas.Do you object to Sunday work? I'm not used to London traffic. жүктеу/скачать 152.5 Kb.
