(Not *I smell*) (dynamic use) - You smell of soap. The desk smells of varnish. (Not *smell(s) from/with*) (i.e. you have/it has that smell) - I smell/can smell something burning. (Not *smell (something) to burn*) - I love to smell the trees give off that scent of resin. (Not *smell ...to give off*) |
