English Alert: Think about something

English Alert posts deal with recurring mistakes I hear when teaching English to language learners.

Think + About

Think can be followed by many prepositions. In this case, we use Think + About because we are considering something.

Think + To

The preposition TO can be used when we say ‘I think to myself, + a direct statement of thought’.

• I sometimes think to myself, ‘this meetings are a real waste of time.’
• I thought to myself, ‘ She is such a nice person’.
