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.

"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)

Keen on is more common with nouns.
