介词“从”

HSK 2Lesson 9
The Preposition "从"
结构Pattern
从起点 Start到终点 End动词 Verb
从美国来
从八点开始
从一点到五点工作
从我家到学校要十分钟
解释Explanation

“从”后面加时间或者地方,表示起点,意思是“从……开始”。“从……到……”说一段时间或者一段路的开始和结束。“从”和后面的词放在动词前面。

从 marks a starting point in time or place: "from". The 从 phrase goes before the verb: 从美国来 "come from the US", 从八点开始 "start from eight". Pair it with 到 to give both ends of a stretch of time or distance: 从一点到五点 "from one to five", 从我家到学校 "from my home to school". 从小 means "since childhood".
