HOW TO WRITE A FORMAL LETTER / EMAIL IN ENGLISH | CAMBRIDGE EXAM WRITING STRUCTURE

Remember the only difference between a formal letter or email is length. At least as far as official exams are concerned. Whether you're preparing for a Cambridge, TOEFL, EOI, PEARSON or Trinity exam, follow this video for writing tips. We'll be looking at the use of phrasal verbs, acronyms, contractions, slang, formal words and alternatives, how to begin and end a formal letter /email. Don't miss the formal email / letter example at the end.

Hola, tengo una duda: comentas la regla que despues de TO el verbo va en infinitivo y después dek FOR en -ing, no entiendo pues porque en la frase "I look forward to hearing from you" está el verbo con -ing si la expresions "I look forward to" acaba con un "TO". Muchas gracias!!

[@EnjoyEnglishWithMrsA]

Tienes que ver [I look forward to] como un bloque (es una expresión entera y no palabras sueltas) 🍸ese "to" no va con el verbo

1. Yo intentaría elegir 2. Ficticio no, acabas la carta con tu nombre ya que eres la persona que lo escribe 💫
