    Spoken of/help
    Message from parv posted on 31-05-2013 at 11:36:34 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    I am reading a book . I read the sentence:
    I have spoken of him before and I will again, not only because I admired him as a person , but because he taught me some of the greatest lessons in life. 
    I just want to know , if I can use spoken to and why they used spoken of
    Thanks.

    Hello.
    'Spoken of' indicates speaking about someone, whereas 'spoken to' requires speaking (directly) with a person. So, the two are not interchangeable.

    Hello,
    I have spoken of him = I have already described him = I have already told you things about him....
