Hello, I have a question related to the grammar.

If you answer my question, I thank you for answering.

I wonder if the word 'cause' can have gerund(-ing form) as object.

If so, please take several sentences for example.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Juniper Kim I wonder if the word 'cause' can have gerund(-ing form) as object. I assuming you mean these kinds of structures: cause going; cause being; cause wanting; cause doing; cause knowing No. That's not a possible grammatical pattern in English.
