''What of her''
While watching an episode of Tidelands I paid attention to ''What of her?'' . Can anyone explain me the difference between ''what about her'' and ''what of her''? is it gramatically correct? In what regions is this phrase used?
so here is part of a dialogoue:
A)-Cal McTeer B -what of her? A-I want you to seduce her
meaning grammar phrases differences
