To should always be followed by v1form. It is called to infinitive form.

The above answer is wrong.

Charan Kalyan said:   7 years ago
It should be "we looking forward to hearing from you".

Avani said:   7 years ago
Listen is the correct answer.

In grammer, "to hearing" is incorrect because we can not put verb+ing if the word start with "To" it means INFINITY and verb + ing mean gerund so both cannot come together. Example "TO developing India" is wrong and To develop India is absolutely correct. Another example " To smoke is injurious to health" and "Smoking is injurious to health".
