Hi,Your words like a brain storming that help me to have got it.There the [think] means this activity is made in oneself in whcih the thinking is formed or developed. That way is the same as to say "teach them to become a thinking entity".Oh, I see a line, "I thought to myself, He's behaving very oddly."The new way used to show the thought from who, who has tthe thought. Thank you very much Alp
