I just put a gerund after a preposition 'about'.why is it wrong? Because I saw this in a grammar book that if we want to use a verb after a preposition,it must be a gerund . That this is wrong is because it doesn't make sense or we need to remember when to use gerunds?? Remembering like curious and about combination doesn't take gerund and a lots of other combinations with noun and
adjective

Because using a language effectively is not just putting one word after another according to some grammar rule—you have to understand what you are saying. Children are not curious about playing—they love to play at anything. It is the new game that they are curious about.

I don't read it that way. 'To have no interest in' is not quite lack of curiosity. If I have no interest in going to a movie tonight, I simply do not want to go.
