Could you tell me the differences between keen to and keen for, please? Hi Molly. Keen to + verb. Keen for + noun. I’m keen to help you improve your English. I’m keen for some pizza tonight.

Could you tell me the differences between keen to and keen for, please? "Keen" follows a pattern similar to "eager": "Billy is eager/keen to dance tonight" (verb) "Billy is eager/keen for dancing tonight" (noun) But, "keen" also uses "on" but "eager" does not: "Billy is keen on Sally" (means he likes her)
