Idiom/Phrases 2

Hello All,
You know phrases/idioms play a vital role in our day to day communication but when we speak of them, we have to keep in mind the value of their usage as it is the usage that gives a special meaning to a word or phrase. One thing that I would like to mention here is that the largest number of idioms are those that result from the addition of prepositions after verbs.
So let's discuss the following idioms that have the word 'look':
1. Look forward to:
