Language Focus
We use think to give opinions and beliefs.
| Form | Structure | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Affirmative | I/you/we/they: think he/she/it: thinks | I think it's a good idea. She thinks he's right. |
| Negative | don't think / doesn't think | I don't think that's true. He doesn't think it will rain. |
| Yes/No Question | Do...think...? / Does...think...? | Do you think it's a good plan? Does she think he's honest? |
| Short Answer | Yes/No + subject + do/does(n't) | Yes, I do. No, she doesn't. |
| Wh- Question | Wh-word + do/does + subject + think...? | What do you think about this? Why does he think that? |
Remember: when "think" means have an opinion, it's a stative verb – we say "I think it's good", never "I am thinking it's good". But "think about/of" meaning consider can be continuous: "I am thinking about my holiday" is correct.
