I am looking forward to meeting you as well as the eager for learning new things.
Is the above sentence correct and fine?
I mainly have problem with the form of the noun after (as well as). What I want to say is this:
I am looking forward to meeting you, and also I am eager for learning new things.
In general, when are we allowed to omit some part from the second part of such sentences?
I look forward to meeting you and I am eager to learn new things.
look forward to + -ing (meet + ing)
I am eager to learn new things. (NOT eager for learning)
We don't use 'for' before a verb to talk about purpose. Instead, we use to + infinitive.
