Why is it wrong to say 'why to correct mistakes' instead of 'why correct mistakes' but it is right to say 'how to correct mistakes' - why can we not use 'to' with 'why'?

"How to correct mistakes" all by itself isn't enough though... if you are referring to your own mistakes you would ask something like this:How can I correct my mistakes? Why should I correct my mistakes?You would only use "to" if you were referring to someone else.He was explaining how to correct my mistakes.

Which is grammatically correct 'I was looking forward to meet you' or 'I was looking forward to meeting you'?
How would you define correct in respect of English usage? English has no central legislative body (as French has with its Académie), and if you research carefully in cheap grammar books you will find each of these forms preferred to the other.The most reliable guide to what usage is correct and what is questionable in English (or any other language where grammar follows usage) is to check which form is used by a significant number of competent native speakers.A grammar professional would do this by checking one of the many reliable corpuses of English usage (the BNC, the OEC, the ICE, and the Colllins Cobuild are all good).You could do this, or you could trust me when I tell you that both usages are correct (the second is a little more formal), and that the history of how such questions even become problematic is utterly fascinating.

Is it does she clears your doubt a correct grammar?
Your question is grammatically and idiomatically incorrect in many ways. First of all "grammar", the way you are using it, cannot take the indefinate article "a". It is idiomatic to say "Is [quote sentence here] correct grammar?" So it would appear that the phrase/ sentence you are asking about is "It does she clears your doubt." There are too many verbs and pronouns in this. Is the subject "it" or "she"? Is the verb "does" or "clears"? Either way, these are not verbs that can be used coherently with the object "doubt"--that is not a grammar problem but a usage problem. As a result it is impossible to get any meaning from this heap of words.
