English learning thread

I am looking forward to seeing your english posts.
kikanuni mimi mwalimu wa lugha ningependa kukuweka sawa hapa, in english we're not required to add two verbs in form of"ing" in same sentence of different events as what you did, instead of saying "I am looking forward to seeing your english posts" you could say 'i am looking forward to SEE( ing-removed) your english.... Note: ktk matumizi ya sentensi vitenzi havipaswi kufuatana vikiwa na ing mwishoni lazima kitenz cha pili kiwe ktk hali yake ya kawaida, pili ukizungumzia jambo lolote ikiwa verb ya awali kutumika ikiwa ktk nyakati zozote tofauti basi kukitangulia mbele neno TO basi verb unayotaka kuiweka kwa mbele pia lazima iwe ktk hali yake ya kawaida. Otherwise ktk case za conjuctions like Prefer.....to......ig : i prefer watching a game to playing e.t.c 🀣🀣 KUFUNDISHA KIINGEREZA KTK MAANDISHI KAZI NA INALETA NJAA
 
Mkuu nafikiri hiyo sentensi kama ipo sahihi..

The grammatical mistake I noted to the pmwasyoke 's post is "seeing". It should be "see".

I stand to be corrected!
After preposition to don't add 'ing'
The word " to" is a preposition. Immediately after a preposition ONLY a gerund, (a verbal noun or noun) can come. Remember, a preposition it can never be followed by a verb.
The word "seeing" is not a verb form and is not in present continuous form.

Seeing is noun, a gerund( a noun formed with a verb ending in " ing".)

So "I am Looking forward to seeing.. " is grammatically correct and acceptable.

I might be wrong about this, so feel free to correct me if that is the case.
 
I stand with you madam.
 
For those who wish to build a strong grammatical foundation, i recommend you find a series of books titled "BRIGHTER GRAMMAR" by C.E.ECKERSLEY. They are four of them(Brighter Grammar book 1 up to Brighter grammar book 4). These books are so useful, especially to beginners and those who wish to sharpen their grammar. I'll upload PDFs of their scanned pages for those who can't get access to such books.
