Usage notes

 * When applied to a person or persons, the possessive is generally used instead.
 * Of may be used directly with a verb or adjectival phrase.
 * When modifying a noun, modern English increasingly uses noun adjuncts rather than of. Examples include part of speech (16th century) vs. word class (20th century), ' (1908) vs. ' (1947), and affairs of the world (18th century) vs. world affairs (20th century).
 * The use of to link nouns to attributive adjectives modified by certain adverbs is always optional; omitting  in such instances is always permissible and does not alter the meaning of the expression. Adverbs that may be used with this construction include, , , , , , , and.

Usage notes

 * Of does not mean "of," even though it's where the word "of" comes from. Instead, the Anglo-Saxons mostly used the genitive case where we would say "of":  Dēaðes god man sċeal ofslēan and mann undēadlīcne dōn ("The god of death must be killed and man made immortal"), Iċ hine huntiġe oþ eorðan endas ("I'll hunt him to the ends of the Earth "). Even the occasional instances where "of" translates of are a survival of its original sense "from" or "out of": sē weall is ġeworht of tiġelan and eorþteorwe ("the wall is made of brick and asphalt"), Sē Hǣlend sċolde bēon of fǣmnan ġeboren ("Jesus was supposedly born of a virgin").


 * Note also that of never means "about." Phrases like "to think of" and "to speak of" are rendered with or.


 * For doing something "out of" an emotion, is typically used instead of of: Þætte for lufum ġedōn biþ, þæt ġewierþ simle beġeondan gōde and yfele ("What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil").


 * For dying "of" a cause, various other prepositions or the bare dative/instrumental case are used; see.
