  Adjectives describe nouns. In fact we say that adjectives modify nouns. Adjectives give us more information about a noun. Example : Mark and Jane are carrying a  heavy  chair . by Ambro | FreeDigitalPhotos.net   (The adjective “ heavy ” is describing the noun “ chair “. It gives us more information about the chair by indicating its weight.) The form of the adjective is the same for singular nouns and plural nouns. In English, there is no “agreement” between a noun and an adjective. This is very different to many other European languages, like French for example. Examples : Jane is holding a  red   apple .  There are some  red   apples  on the plate.  There are some  reds   apples  on the plate.  Position of adjectives Broadly speaking, there are 2 types of position in a sentence for adjectives: Before a noun ( attributive  position) Examples : There is a  small   dog  in the garden. I have some  new   shoes .   After link verbs ( predicative  position) Examples of link verb :  appear

"Think about" is more general - it's spending time thinking through an idea, or remembering something and considering a possibility. "Think of" usually involves something more specific - like thoughts about a specific person, memory, or you might say that you "think of" an idea.
