Could you give an example of a sentence with "opinion in"? Hello! I know that it is possible to use either 'of' or 'about' if you use the word 'opinion'. What's your opinion about/of classical music? The book I have Use of English B2 by Moutsou also suggests "opinion in". http://piccy.info/view3/13451193/182ee015a1e0d6f28f9edcdfc3c9824a/ Could you give me a couple of examples of 'opinion in'? Thank you!
