What is the diference between "think of", "think about" and "think in"?
Hi Lee,

Thank you for answering, I have no particular frase to discuss about. My confusion comes from the fact that in my native tongue ( Spanish ) one never think OF something, in Spanish one think IN something most of the times, but in English this combination is neither correct nor equivalent. Hope you can help me..

Answer

Please offer us some sample sentences using these words that you have questions about.  Then we can answer you "in context" instead of guessing which usages you are talking about.

Answer

"Think in" means you think in a certain way or you think in terms of something, such as "you think that in terms of schooling, people would be more careful in doing their research". "Think about" means you're thinking about a certain subject, "You have to think about the consequences". "Think of" means to think of something, it's very similar to think about. "Think of something you like to do"
