Prepositions Make a Difference: “HEAR OF” & “HEAR ABOUT”

What’s the difference between “hear of” and “hear about”? I explain in this grammar lesson, and also give you a chance to practice using these two common phrases. If you have “heard of” something or someone, it means you are aware that something or someone exists. If you have “heard about” something or someone, it means you have heard some news or more detailed information about something or someone. Watch the class to see these phrases in context, and practice listening to and repeating the example sentences. When you’re done, do the quiz to test your understanding.
