Question

Every winter when the lake freezes, the small children look forward _____ on the ice.
to touching
to skating
to watching
to swimming

Answer 1

The correct sentence in this case will be –

Every winter when the lake freezes, the small children look forward to skating on the ice.

Actually, skating is the only activity that the children can enjoy on the frozen ice. They cannot swim on, watch on, or touch on the ice.

Grammatically all other options are wrong.
