Is that phrase correct?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I think it might be
I'm looking forward to hear from you

Hello Mohamed Alkady,

The phrase is correct. We say 'hearing' because 'to' is a preposition rather than a part of the infinitive here. Prepositions have objects and these can be nouns (to the party, to the meeting) or -ing forms (to meeting you, to working with you).

You can say either 'I look forward to...' or 'I'm looking forward to...' here. The second is a little less formal to my ear.

ot yet, I can write something, but I think I need to learn more to do it well.

This is an easy and pleasant task to understand, you can easily understand the dialogues, so it helps a lot in the development of English.

My name is Paulo Reyes, I am learning a lot thanks to our teacher, this page will allow me to improve my English.
