usage of "propose"

Is "propose to do sth" a grammatically correct expression?

I know "propose that ..." is all right. In addition to that construction, I also say "propose doing sth.". But I'm quite hesitant in using it in the way mentioned above.

Look forward to your kind comments.

Thanks,

Vincent

Yes, it's all right to use propose with to + infinitive. If you say "propose to someone", though, it means to ask someone to marry you.
