THINK OF-3: meaning and examples
Good morning.
Today we continue with our review of the meanings and uses of the phrasal verb think of.
Today's expression is (continued): to think of something or somebody
Meaning 3: to remember something (especially common with modal verb can).
Example 3:
I'm sorry. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I can't think of her name. If I think of it, I'll call you.
Meaning 4: to imagine an actual or a possible situation.
Example 4:
I know you have lost your job and can't pay the rent this month, but don't worry! I wouldn't think of kicking you out of the flat. (= I wouldn't even consider it)
Example 5:
I think it's better not to go to China for our holidays this summer. Just think of the expense!
We'll finish on Monday with one more meaning of think of. If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website (www.ziggurat.es).
Remember that tomorrow we will send the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English.
I hope you have a nice day!
