Writer’s Note
Important tip! You want to avoid saying "I’m thinking to" because it is grammatically incorrect.
Example:
❌ "I’m thinking to change my mind" or "I’m thinking to make pasta" are incorrect.
✅ You want to aim for "I’m thinking of" + gerund’ or "I’m thinking about verb+ing".
❌ 「I’m thinking to change my mind」 या 「I’m thinking to make pasta」 गलत हैं।
✅ आप 「I’m thinking of」 + gerund या 「I’m thinking about verb+ing」 का उपयोग करना चाहते हैं।
Both "I’m thinking about" and "I’m thinking of" are used to talk about something you're considering or imagining. They’re often interchangeable, but can feel slightly different in tone:
"I’m thinking about"→ often used for processes or reflections
"I’m thinking of" → often used for specific ideas, plans, or mental images.
Here are a few more fun examples to help you:
"I'm thinking about"
- I’m thinking about writing a children’s book based on my cat’s daily adventures.
- I’m thinking about what it would be like to live in a treehouse.
- I’m thinking about starting a podcast where I interview my grandparents.
- I’m thinking about taking a month off just to explore small towns and sketch them.
- I’m thinking about how weirdly quiet the world gets at 4 a.m.
"I'm thinking of"
- I’m thinking of turning my closet into a secret reading nook.
- I’m thinking of naming my bread dough, "Martha".
- I’m thinking of baking something I’ve never tried—like a lavender lemon tart.
- I’m thinking of sending handwritten letters instead of texts for a week.
- I’m thinking of creating a short film based entirely on everyday sounds.
Speaking incorrect grammatical sentences will make it harder for the listener to understand what you are trying to say. So make sure you practice out loud, record and listen to your own voice to get comfortable with these expressions.
