In this lesson, I show how I used the phrasal verb – looking forward to – in one of my videos, and then give more examples.

Looking Forward To
In the example I gave, I said the following:
“… So, we’re going to go to Europe in two weeks…. I’m really looking forward to my holiday but I’m not looking forward to the journey.”
This means that I was excited about my holiday but wasn’t excited about the journey.
Here are four more examples:
- “He’s looking forward to starting his new job.”
- “I’m looking forward to going to the beach next week.
- “I’m looking forward to the beach.”
- “We’re not looking forward to it.”
Notice that when we use this phrasal verb with another verb we use the gerund (starting, going).
I am looking forward to paying all my debts.
Great example!
I’m looking forward to reaching higher level in English.
I’m looking forward to moving to a better house.
I’m looking forward to traveling fore better job and more beautiful seen and better services
Great examples, Sahar. The last one needs changing a little: “… to living in another country so I can get….”
I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and using them with my English students, thank you.
Thanks, Cleona!
