Another use of the little helper "OF" can be described with this formula:
adjective + OF + pronoun
It's usually preceeded by "how" or "so":
- So brave of him!
- How determined of you!
The examples above are exclamatory but one can use them more calmly, for instance:
- It was so unexpected of her that she just went straight to the boss' office and said she was fed up - she'd always been so shy.
- It'll be very brave of you if you just come up to her and say, "Alright, I'm leaving".
