Prepositions Make a Difference: “THINK OF” or “THINK ABOUT”?

Learn how to use think of and think about in this preposition lesson. While both can be used when you want to talk about considering different options, they have a couple of key differences. Think of is used when an idea comes to your mind. It is much more sudden. When something requires longer contemplation, think about is more common. Watch the class to practice listening and repeating sentences, then do the quiz to test your understanding of the material.

Thank you Alex, I was thinking about a pink elephant.

Less is more! A very good prepared lesson, dear Mr.Alex. I made three mistakes in the quiz. But your explanation was very clear and excellent! I have only to repeat. Thanks!

Always a pleasure, Beernaard. Just one correction: “One of the best teachers.” Any time you use “one of,” you need to use a plural noun afterwards to mention the group the “one” is from.

“We need to think OF a way to fix this”. Why it is “of” should be used here? 🤔
Well…we need to find a way to fix this…. It can take a long time and perhaps it won’t be easy to find a way. I’ve chosen “think about” in a quiz, but it’s wrong. I’m a little confused.
