[Grammar] -ing form after "looking forward to"

[Jamshaid_]

I read some where that after "looking forward to" -ing form is usually used by native speakers. Is it right?

I am curious, which of the following sentence will be correct:

"I am looking forward to work with you."

Or

"I am looking forward to working with you."

 

[Tarheel]

The second one.

(Say: "Which of the following sentences is correct?")

I also want to know if people mostly use -ing form after "looking forward to". And if any exceptions to this rule exists.

Not just "usually". I'd say "pretty close to always". The form is "look forward to + NOUN".

I have never heard a native speaker not use -ing in this structure.

I'm looking forward to your explanation.
