Subject: warn about or warn of gen. Подскажите, пожалуйста, в чём разница между "to warn about" и "to warn of"?
|
|
The verb warn can go together with the following prepositions, in descending order of frequency: warn of warn about warn against warn off Warn of and warn about are nearly synonymous with a meaning similar to notify or inform. Warn of can sound slightly more official or formal: Officials warned of aftershocks in the days following the earthquake. Our neighbors warned us about the dog across the street. http://www.learnersdictionary.com/qa/warn-preposition |

разница в контексте. напр. ср. "предупредить о чем-либо" и "предостеречь от чего-либо" - в чем разница? |
| "От чего-либо" я бы использовал warn against. |
