Doubt of notebooks written
I want solve my doubt of notebooks written.
In this notebook: http://www.italki.com/entry/415027, my doubt is.
I WROTE: "My expectations about learn"
CORRECTION: "My expectations about learning"
I don't understand why use "learning" instead just "learn"
Can you help with this question?
Gerunds follow prepositions. The -ing form of a verb always follows "about".
"My expectations about learn" is broken English.

Learn is a verb and the sentence required a noun. The ing form is a verbal noun or gerund. Do not mix up the gerund with the ing form of the present participle. You are learning English.
