what is the meaning of 'indeed'?
and i don't understand that why we use 'of you'?

Hi Esra,

When you add indeed, you make the words stronger. You can say very good indeed, which means very, very good. When you say thank you very much indeed, you are saying thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's very kind of you means you are very kind (to do that). It's very kind of him means he is very kind (to do that).

I Don't understand why do you use of

Hello! Why should we use "of" but not "from"?

Hi,

In all these expressions - kind of you/good of you/ nice of you/considerate of you and so on - the suggestion is that you are kind/good/nice/considerate to do this and the standard preposition is 'of'. Using 'from' wouldn't work because that preposition gives the idea of 'sending' (from you to me) and that isn't the meaning.

Hi Gino,

To go back to 'good of' and 'good for', let me explain the difference. 'Good of you' suggests 'kind of you '( you are/were kind) as in: It was very good of you to give me a lift in your car last week when I missed the last bus. 'Good for you' suggest either support for someone or of benefit to someone as in: Good for you that you took the the trouble to stand up at the meeting and say what you thought. Walking every day for half an hour keeps you healthy and is good for you.
