Which one is correct, “intend on doing something” or “intend doing something”?

What’s the difference?

Sorry this question is closed.

  1. The difference is that “intend doing something” is simply not correct. “Intend to do something” would be the best way to say it, with “intend on doing something” being a little awkward here but acceptable.

  2. The second is correct; the first is ungrammatical but can be corrected by replacing “intend” by “intent”.
