Key Points
- In the sentence "I can't concentrate on my work because I am thinking off that beautiful scene", the phrase "thinking off" is incorrect.
- The correct preposition to use with "thinking" in this context is "about".
- When we think about something, we consider it, it occupies our mind.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I can't concentrate on my work because I am thinking about that beautiful scene."
Additional Information
- Let's analyze the incorrect options:
- "was think of" - This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "was thinking of", but the sentence requires present tense, not past tense, so "am thinking about" is correct.
- "is thinking about" - This option is incorrect because the subject of the sentence is "I", and with "I", the correct form of the verb "to be" is "am", not "is".
