Could anyone help me with the following question? "You’re going to hear to an interviews with an ex-Champions League football referee." Why is the preposition “to” used after the verb “hear”? In the dictionary it’s written that we use the direct object after “hear”. I thought that there is no need to use the preposition “to” in the above sentence. So could you explain why the decided to use it?

Hi! You're absolutely right — the sentence is incorrect. It should be: 👉 "You're going to hear an interview with an ex-Champions League football referee." "Hear" takes a direct object — no need for "to". hear to an interview is wrong.

perhaps, it was someone not native confused "listen to" and "hear smth"

The person who wrote the instruction probably wrote 'listen' (which must be followed by 'to') initially. They probably then changed it to 'hear' and forgot to delete 'to'.
