The -ing form


1. I STARTED speaking English when I was 12, and most of the time, I’ve been learning English via lyrics from my favourite band, Metallica. I have no major problems with my vocabulary and grammar, but this one thing keeps me exasperated: I’d like to know when we should use the -ing form after the preposition “to”?

For instance, in the sentence, “I’m looking forward to meeting you, next week”, I know the rule is that verbs with the preposition “to” must be followed by gerunds. Can you elaborate on this? Please show some examples because I feel like a 12-year-old in need of an English refresher course.
