§Grammar and usage
To + base form (infinitive: 'I want to go'); but modal verbs take the base form without to ('can go', 'must go'), and also let, make and help (often) ('Let me go'; 'He made me laugh'); some words take to + -ing, because to is a preposition: look forward to, be used to, object to, with a view to, devote to, prefer ... to ('I look forward to meeting you', not 'to meet').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: to + base form (infinitive: 'I want to go'); पर modal verbs to के बिना base form लेते हैं ('can go', 'must go'), और let, make और help (प्रायः) भी ('Let me go'; 'He made me laugh'); कुछ शब्द to + -ing लेते हैं, क्योंकि यहाँ to preposition है: look forward to, be used to, object to, with a view to, devote to, prefer ... to ('I look forward to meeting you', 'to meet' नहीं)।
