think
and all its forms are used very often in English. In this lesson, I will explain some of its main uses, including how to use “think” with different verb tenses. I will also teach you several “think” expressions, such as let me have a think
and think something up
. Watch this video! I think you will find that it helps you to expand your vocabulary.

Hello Gil.
Thank for this lesson .
Does ” think twice” mean to consider all the possibilities before making a decision.
Is “thinking” as a noun can be used . eg ” this is my thinking”
Thank you for you answer in advance.
See you
We rather say this is my way of thinking.
Of course Think twice means to think again and again or to think out are counted same in the meanings. You can also say ” Think hundred time before taking decision.
Thanks.
Great lesson, I wonder if can use these phrasal verbs when writing. I hope someone answers my question.
Thank you
Thank you very much Gill!!

Thanks,Ms.Gill. This video has more benefit for me. I’m just start studying English,so I’ll be waiting for your new video. Thanks again
thank you , it is very helpeful for me to distinguish between verb + through or up or ahead or out
Hello Gill,
thank you so much for your great lesson!As always your film unit was brilliant! By the way I’ve got a question for pronunciation of the indefinite article “a”. Sometimes I can hear the pronunciation (eɪ) similar to “s/ay”. I think it is more British English.
It would be very nice if you can give me a note.
Thanks a lot!
All the best
Bernd
Hello Bernd — thanks for your question. The indefinite article ‘a’ can be pronounced in two different ways: (1) the example you give, rhyming with ‘say’, or (2) ‘uh’ as in ‘fun’. It’s more usual to use the second one, as ‘a’ is a relatively small word and people skip over it quickly (eg ‘a fact’). But I often hear people like TV journalists using the first way, probably for clarity and emphasis, as it’s a longer vowel sound. I hope this helps :-)
Hello Gill, I am so happy you had the opportunity to answer me. Yes, you helps me a lot! Thank you very much!
Happy Easter! The Lord bless you!
Bernd

Hello Gill, do you know a very good british english grammer/vocabulary/idioms book?
Hello, Oliver! One of the most famous English grammar is “In Use”, by Cambridge University Press. I like it very much. Another Engvid teacher (James) has already suggested it too. Bye!

Sometimes it’s best not to think twice before you speak, but speak from the heart. In other circumstances it’s best to think like a Machiavelli…..
Thank you, Gill

Thanks Gill! You’re one of my most favourite teacher here (by the way did I write it correctly?). I have one question about this lesson. What’s the difference between to think through and to think over?
I got 4 out 10 I need to improve
think of vs think about
Could you please give me some details? Sometimes, I cannot decide how I can use them ??
I have been thinking of you (or thinking about you)
Hi, Can! Well, as far as I could understand, we use “to think of” to express an opinion about something. For example, “What do you think of my new car?”. On the other hand, we use “to think about” when we need to reflect about something. For instance, “I like thinking about my life”.
me too,I want to thanks
I’ll use this lesson everyday, very good… very useful… thanks for this!
Hello Gill ! YUPii 10 out of 10 that’s terrific for my first lesson . . I am on my way . I feel really pleased to find such wonderful teacher good simplifying things a lot . . I am happy I feel motivated to move on another course of you :)
Take good care of you Gill
Thanks for this lesson, Gill!
There are so many peculiar details and uses of “think” in English, something I’ve never imagined (“thought” would be cliche here :-)!
Thank you, Gil.
I like you lessons and I like this web-site. But I think I need some practice in speaking. If anyone has the same problem I would be glad to talk. My skype romka198810. Be free to call.
Thank you for a such useful lesson! have discovered a few new meanings of “think”.
Hi, do you speak all that languages? Congratulation
Your voice is very elegant. So I enjoyed your lesson. Thank you for your teaching. I’ll do my best for studying English.
Thanks Gill! I’m impressed by your pronunciation |ʌ| instead of [ei] for the indefinite article. I’ve never heard the indefinite article to be pronounced this way. I’ll use your way.
Sorry, I meant [ə] not [ei]
Thank for this lesson.
thanks gill . I try to come here and watch the videos evverday.
Thank you Gill!’Think’ is simple word, however we can use ‘think’ in many ways!!!
A special thanks to you and your colleagues for your useful lessons
thank you Gill :)))
Hello, Gill! Congratulation on this lesson again! I will think it through! By the way, how can you guess all my doubts and explain them in your lessons before I ask you? That’s amazing!
you gave me result quiz 60% so you’ve disappointed me.
i love all time {A} means perfect .

Hi Gill Is it correct to write: He thinks or he think?
thanks gill…Ilove you
i’ve heard many times this word ” thought off” . But i could never its explanation on web. Then i’ve heard and learnt that ” ate off” and , its meaning is to eat something and finish it. Should i think about this word like this, by that i mean, thought off is i thought something or about very importand situation and reached a decide about that?
Godo explanation,tanks.
Hi, Gill
In the example sentence “what has he thought up now?”, can I say: “what does he think up now?” What’s the difference?
Thank you.

I think Gill is an excellent teacher.

Great! Professor Gill.
It reminded me teaching verbs with prepositions. That´s the way I implement my teaching, but I expected to hear something regarding the use of THINK as part of the communicative function ‘Expressing uncertainty’ because in dealing with scientific information, especially in research papers defense, using I think might imply lack of consistency or empirical explanations or something you imagen without scientific support. Anyway Iam impressed with your knowledge and mastery of the language so as the way you convey your message goal. I’d like to become your student, your friend. I am really learning in this site. Thanks
Very usefull thanks
Hi Gill,
could you please check this phrase if it is correct or not?
I am thinking to watch again the video of this lesson to understand it precisely, because my score is 80% only, and i still having some confusion.
Thanks in advance .
Very useful lesson,Gill. You are a great teacher.
I’ve heard some ways to say you have to think more about something.
“I’ll have to put on my thinking hat”
“I need to do some thinking.” Are there any others
that you know of? I’d love to learn more “idioms”
like these.
I thank you again for your lessons. You are so
polite and tender. Thank you very much,again.
very educative. but ‘i had to think’ means?
You got 10 correct out of 10.

Thank you Gill. It was a very useful lesson, however, like your other lessons.
