Verb + preposition (3) about and of

Some verbs can be followed by about or of, usually with a difference of meaning:

dream ABOUT...:

I dreamt about you last night, (when I was asleep) dream OF being something / doing something (= imagine):

I often dream of being rich.

• ‘Don’t tell anyone what I said.’ ‘No, I wouldn’t dream of it.’ (= I would never do it)

hear ABOUT... (= be told about something):

• Did you hear about the fight in the club on Saturday night? hear OF... (- know that somebody/something exists):

‘Who is Tom Madely?’ ‘I’ve no idea. I’ve never heard of him.’ (not ‘heard from him’)

Also: hear FROM... (= receive a letter or phone call from somebody):

‘Have you heard from Jane recently?’ ‘Yes, I got a letter from her a few days ago.’

cthink ABOUT... and think OF...

When you think ABOUT something, you consider it, you concentrate your mind on it:

You look serious. What are you thinking about?

• ‘Will you lend me the money?’ ‘I’ll think about it.’

When you think OF something, the idea comes to your mind:

He told me his name but 1can’t think of it now. (not ‘think about it’)

That’s a good idea. Why didn’t I think of that? (not ‘think about that’)

We also use think of when we ask or give an opinion:

• ‘What did you think of the film?’ ‘I didn’t think much of it.’

The difference is sometimes very small. Often you can use of or about:

• When I’m alone, 1often think of (or about) you.

You can say ‘think of or think about doing something’ (for possible future actions):

• My sister is thinking of (or about) going to Canada. (= she is considering it)

Dremind somebody ABOUT... (= tell somebody not to forget):

I’m glad you reminded me about the meeting. I had completely forgotten it. remind somebody OF... (= cause somebody to remember):

This house reminds me of the one I lived in when I was a child.

Look at this photograph of Richard. Who does he remind you of?

Ecomplain (TO somebody) ABOUT... (= say that you are not satisfied):

We complained to the manager of the restaurant about the food,

complain OF a pain, an illness etc. (= say that you have a pain etc.):

• We called the doctor because George was complaining of a pain in his stomach.

Fwarn somebody OF/ABOUT a danger, something bad which might happen:

Everybody has been warned of/about the dangers of smoking.

warn somebody ABOUT somebody/something which is dangerous, unusual etc.:

I knew he was a strange person. I had been warned about him. (not ‘warned of him’)
