I know that what follows a preposition is a Noun or a Ving.
"There are advantages to overseas education" or
"There are advantages to studying overseas."
However, in many instances, you can also put the N (subject) + Ving after the preposition - e.g. "There are advantages to children being bilingual."
What is the rule for this - I want to read more into this. Where would this be under in grammar books. Also, can one always put that subject before the Ving or there are limitations to this.
Thanks.
