Thinking of you

This blog is called Thinking in English because the idea is for you to think in English rather than translate from another language. Usually, however, we use of or about with the verb think. For example, when people used to send postcards from their trips and vacations, they would often write, "thinking of you and wishing you were here." So, we think of people, which means that they come into our minds. We also think about people and things.

When asking a question with think, you can use of or about, especially when asking for an opinion, like "what do you think about the new policy?" or "what do you think of the new mayor?" If you want to know what someone is thinking in a certain moment, you can ask, "what are you thinking?" or "what are you thinking about?" This question is general, just to find out what someone is thinking.
