Hello everyone,


I just want to know the difference between both of these sentence.

I think about/of leaving right now.

Job applicants are informed about/of the results of the examination on Tuesday.

Hello everyone,


I just want to know the difference between "about and of" in both of these sentences.

I am thinking about/of leaving right now. You can use "about" or "of" here.

Job applicants are/will be informed [strike]about/[/strike] of the results of the examination on Tuesday.

See the red parts above.

For a start, sorry about the badly said question. But I want to know why you used of and not about in the second one. And are sounds much better than will be, I guess.
