Is it “looking forward to hear from you” or “to hearing from you”?

Looking forward to hear from you” is incorrect because the phrasal verb “look forward to” requires a direct object, i.e., what you’re looking forward to. The direct object must be a noun phrase, and therefore the gerund “hearing” is needed rather than the verb “hear.”

  • I’m looking forward to hear from you.
  • I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

What’s the difference between Miss and Ms.?

Miss” is a title used for a young unmarried woman or girl (e.g, “Miss Muffet”). It is not used for a married woman. “Miss” is often considered dated, so it is preferable to use “Ms.”

Mrs.” is a title used for a married woman.

Ms.” is a title for woman who is married or whose marital status is unknown, for an older unmarried woman, or for situations where marital status is not emphasized. It can be used both for married and unmarried women in the same way that “Mr.” is used for unmarried and married men. Nowadays, “Ms.” is the most common way to address a woman, as it is unrelated to marital status.
