What does it mean by you are of a great family? When do you use 'of' after 'is'? Thanks in advance.

Hi Clark, what is the phrase or sentence you don't understand? Maybe, you mean 'you are of a great family' = 'you belong to a great family' = 'you are a member of a great family'. At least that's what I think you mean, no?

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I should alter 'is' to 'are' in this case.
Yes you are right, I did mean something simliar to that, but under what circumstance can you use 'of' straight after 'are' or 'is'? Wink

There are some fixed expressions such as 'if you are of legal drinking age' or 'you are of value' or 'you are of Chinese descent'.
Let's see what Alan has to say on this subject...
