Think of/about
Message de speedtiti posté le 25-03-2007 à 15:55:12 (S | E | F | I)
Could you tell me what's the difference between think of and think about ?
Is the sentence : "I haven't think of it yet" correct ?
or is "I haven't think about it yet" better ?
Thank you !

I think you have to say "about"

They're both incorrect !
Have you forgotten your tenses? What about "thought" ?
So,
I haven't thought of it yet
I haven't thought about it yet
Both sentences are correct NOW. Basically "think of" and "think about" have the same meaning. However, in my opinion, the second one sounds better.

Of course, it's not a mistake I often make !
Well thank you very much for answering !

Hello,
Pour moi il y a une légère différence; voir ce lien :
Lien Internet
=
Pour résumer je dirais "of" quand je pense à la personne ou la chose précise, et "about" quand je pense aussi à tout ce qui entoure la personne ou la chose.
La nuance est très floue je l'avoue mais si je pense à une personne que j'aime je dirai "I think of you" .J'ajoute que c'est un "feeling" personnel.
See you

"To think about/of" do mean the same thing in "I am thinking about/of you."
However, "to think of" can also mean "to remember" or "to bring spontaneously into one's thoughts", whereas "to think about" (or "to think over") can mean "to consider".
