I'm looking forward to/ hoping to question
Hi folks, I'm bit confused about this one.
The correct form of the sentence is:
I'm looking forward to meeting you.
But what if I use hoping instead of looking forward?
I'm hoping to meet you?
I'm hoping to meeting you? ( I think this one is wrong, but can someone explain me why)
