I learnt that after a preposition, the rule is that the gerund form of the verb is used (instead of the infinitive form), as in "Thank you for coming".
In this sentence:
- They joined forces to fight their common enemy.
It seems to me that here, 'to' is used as a preposition. So, should the sentence be?
- They joined forces to fighting their common enemy
It sounds awkward to me.
