Grammar
Of preposition
As a drama student in college, I would do serious plays like Hamlet, Macbeth... but most of them were tragedies. My training is not of a comedian but of an actor.
'I do not know how to do comedy'
I understand the meaning of the excerpts. Which definition of "of" is used here? Does it connect "training" to "comedian and an actor"?
