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

  • come: This cheese comes from the Pyrenees.
  • get: I got this book from the library.
  • hear: I heard it from Malefoi so I'm not sure it is true.
  • 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.
