The 'Boot Verb' Change
The base verb 'pensar' is a 'boot verb'. The 'e' changes to 'ie' for 'yo', 'tú', 'él/ella', and 'ellos/ellas' (the shapes in a verb chart that look like a boot), but not for 'nosotros' or 'vosotros'. Notice: 'pienso' but 'pensamos'.
Thinking 'that' vs. Thinking 'about'
Use 'pienso que' to share an opinion ('Pienso que es fácil' - I think that it's easy). Use 'pienso en' to say what's on your mind ('Pienso en mis vacaciones' - I'm thinking about my vacation).
Using 'sobre' instead of 'en'
Mistake: “Pienso sobre mi familia.”
Correction: To say you're thinking 'about' someone or something, always use 'en'. The correct way is: 'Pienso en mi familia'.
