ADVICE

Use 'Look Forward To' With -ing

Use "look forward to" + -ing when talking about future plans or trips.
Ask "What are you looking forward to doing?" to prompt specific plans.

INSIGHT

Prepositions Require -ing After Verbs

After a preposition, use the -ing form when a verb follows; this is consistent grammar.
Shauna emphasizes this rule while correcting Lucas's phrasing.

ADVICE

Say 'Be Good At' For Skills

Say "be good at" or "be bad at" to describe abilities with the preposition "at."
Follow with nouns or -ing verbs, e.g., "I'm good at cooking."
