Como usar of e off, vejamos agora no post, mas primeiro.
Usamos OF quando queremos mostrar que pessoas ou coisas se relacionam com outras coisas ou pessoas. Por exemplo, quando queremos dizer que algo ou alguém pertence, ou é parte de algo, ou outra pessoa, podemos fazer assim:
Tiffany stared at the floor of her room.
He resigned his position as a member of the school board.
Também podemos usar OF para dizer que algo consiste em outra coisa, ou que contém outra coisa:
He picked up a piece of stone.
He likes to drink a glass of water before going to bed.
Podemos usar OF para ligar a posição com uma referência que já conhecemos:
He didn’t feel at home at all, north of the Wall.
At the time of the Roman invasion, people spoke a very different kind of English.
OF pode ser usado quando criamos um sintagma nominal a partir de um sintagma verbal:
They had to clean up the house before their parents arrived.
They had to clean up the house before the arrival of their parents.
The radio was on, but she needed peace and quiet, so she turned it off.
You should always make sure the stove is turned off before leaving the house.
OFF também pode ser usado quando queremos dizer que algo está longe de um lugar:
He was walking his dog without a leash, and the dog ran off.
After walking Taylor home, Steve set off into the city.
Pode usar OFF quando quiser dizer que algo foi removido:
He cleaned the spilled soup off the kitchen floor.
They took the wheel off the car.
