To + -ing forms
Could someone explain to me when I have to use "to + -ing" form instead of "to + inf".?
I've also seen these two sentences and now I'm not sure which of them is the correct one: I'm glad to hear from you I'm glad to hearing from you Thanks |

mira: I'm glad to hear from you. ing = ando o endo/ o es un infinitivo considera: I am eating pizza = estoy comiendo pizza. Eating pizza everyday is bad for your health. = comer pizza todos los dias es malo para tu salud. |

Yes, I understand its meaning, but it uses "to + -ing" form: to going.

I cannot think of an instance like that, but most likely you are correct...I would need to see it, though.
