DIFFERENCES: THINK OF/THINK ABOUT/THINK ON/THINK IN
Think Of/About. Most of the times you can use both when
talking about people. So: I’m thinking of you and I
am thinking about you mean pretty much the same.
But...
- Think about. You use think about with the
meaning “consider”:
I need
to think about this problem
- Think
of. You use think of with two meanings:
1. W hen you are “asking
somebody’s opinion”.
What
do you think of my sister’s boyfriend?
2. Or
with the meaning “to imagine”
It is
hot! I am thinking of lying on the beach eating a big ice-cream.
I also
very often use the expression Come to think of it…
On the other hand, both Think On and Think In are
less used.
Think on is a bit
archaic and it is much close to the meaning of think about: Think on your sins
Think in is very easy to differentiate as it is
only used with the verb to speak
Do you
think in Spanish when you speak in English?
