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. www.engvid.com/prepositions-t...

    Thank you Alex. I have been thinking about the differences between 'think of' and 'think about' for a long time and unexpectedly you come up with this video. Thank you professor, well done, clear and to the point. I have got it at last. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

    Hi Alex, I consider myself quite proficient in English. I am still actively learning the language, but I usually go with videos in English whose main purpose is not educational (not designed to teach English).
    For some random reason I came across your channels, and all I can say to you is "THANK YOU, YOU ARE AN AMAZING TUTOR/PROFESSOR)
    I mean it!
    You have gained a subscriber!
    Much appreciation and love from 🇨🇺 Cuba.
    Man, you're good at what you do !
    Can't thank you enough.
    I discovered your channel about an hour ago, watched a few videos and I felt I needed to thank you somehow.

      Thanks a lot! I do have plenty of videos whose objective it is to “teach English,” but I also have many that are more conversational in tone. I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Welcome to the channel. 🙂

    Чтобы хоть как то усвоить этот урок и привёл для себя аналогию "подумать на счёт" и "думать о/об" . Не 100% конечно, но различия немного совпадают.

    Hey, Alex!
    I was watching a sitcom of the 60s called: "I dream of Jeannie". I was wondering why they used the preposition "of" instead of "about". 🤔
