Can someone explain the following "of"?
Your gift should be of good quality but modestly priced. When you plan to give a gift to several people within an organisation, be sure to give a gift of greater value to the senior person.
Are they both the same type of "of"? Can I drop the first one and just say "be good quality"?
How about this one, is it the same kind of "of" -
be of help
Any other examples of the structure and how to use would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
