Preposition

The noun that follows from is usually a source, or a point of origin. (space, time, scale/measure)

  • We're flying from Paris to Marrakesh, then we'll drive from Marrakesh to Essaouira.
  • Tomorrow, I'm working from 8:30am to 7:30pm.
In early 2020 the coronavirus situation went from bad to worse.

Verbs used with from

  • prevent: Prison can prevent people from harming others outside the prison.
  • stop: Drastic action was needed to stop the coronavirus from spreading.
  • suffer: Anyone who suffers from cluster headaches knows how paralyzing they can be.
  • take: Orwell took his inspiration for 1984 from Zamyatin's book We.

No particle

Unlike most prepositions, neither from (source) nor to (goal, destination), is used as a verb-particle.
