look forward to continue/continuing
look forward to continue/continuing
(OP)
Given the choice of saying:
I have seen both and I can't find an article that says which one is preferred. I believe that the second one is correct because usually the object of the phrase "look forward to" is a gerund (noun made up of a verb plus -ing). For instance, "I look forward to running." makes sense, but "I look forward to run." does not.
What do you guys think?
- We look forward to continue working with you.
- We look forward to continuing to work with you.

I believe that "We look forward to continuing to work with you" is passive voice, which is often considered boring and poor style.

Also in regard to fattdad, I am fairly certain that a gerund cannot (or should not?) follow the word "continuing".
