Can anyone illustrate/explain the difference between pensar en y pensar de

Huge thanks...

hi jubilee - basic examples of the difference might be: "?que piensas de esto?" = "what do you you think of this?"

"?en que piensas?" = "what are you thinking (of)?

I'm agree with Angelica's examples, already they are very close in the you need to know literally the sentences pensar and pensar de is that the second phrase has the de.

Therefore you can use them in this examples that I will write now.

Deberiamos pensar la situacion actual del país.

We should in the nowadays situation economic inside of the country.

Que podriamos pensar de esto.

What should we think about it?

I hope those examples can help you.
