Hi, is it possible to say: " I´m open to discuss about that" "I´m open to hear your comments" ? No. The basic structure is 'open to something ', so say I´m open to discussing that.

Thanks Clive!

I do not understand why:

"I´m open to hearing" instead of "I´m open to hear"

Thanks

HI,

You are open to something, where something is a noun or a grmmar form similar to a noun.

'Hearing' is a gerund, ie the noun-like form of the verb 'hear'.
