What is wrong in the sentence looking forward to have a great association?

The sentence "looking forward to have a great association" is grammatically incorrect.

The correct sentence should be:

"Looking forward to having a great association."

The error lies in the use of the infinitive "to have." The correct preposition to use with "looking forward to" is the gerund, which is the -ing form of a verb, in this case, "having."

Here's why:

* Looking forward to implies anticipation and expectation of something in the future.

* Having is the gerund form of the verb "to have" and indicates the action of having a great association.

So, the corrected sentence emphasizes the anticipation of having a great association.
