Thanks for your reply!

So, lets suppose that I am having a talk with a friend and she is talking about her holiday in Australia, of course, I find it really interesting..so, should I say "I am a penny of your thought"?

Thanks in advance!
If she's already talking about it, you'd just say something to encourage her, like 'Tell me more."

'A penny for your thoughts' no verb means 'Tell me what you are thinking about [but not talking about]'.
