OF - FROM
Many learners find it difficult to know when to use of and when to use from
in English.
Very often this comes from the fact that in a number of languages the same
preposition
The clarifications below are intended to serve as a guide for English learners.
OF
Of for possession :
Tom's house.
to something else.
There is no real pattern you need to learn them as you meet them. Here are
some examples, but please remember that this is not a complete list :
- afraid of
- ashamed of
- aware / unaware of
- capable of
- fond of
- proud of
- sure/certain of
- tired of
Again, this is not a complete list, but here are some examples :
- complain of
- dream of
- hear of
- think of
FROM
'From' is used with the prepositions 'to' and 'until' to mark the beginning and
ending point of an action in time. For example,
- different from
- borrow from
- disappear from
- discourage from
- prevent from
- protect from
Adverb
What is an Adverb?
Adverbs tell us in what way someone does something. Adverbs can modify
verbs (here: drive), adjectives or other adverbs.
adjective adverb
Mandy is a careful driver. This sentence is about Mandy, the driver, so use the
adjective.
Mandy drives carefully. This sentence is about her way of driving, so use the
adverb.
2. Form
Adjective + -ly
adjective adverb
dangerous dangerously
careful carefully
nice nicely
horrible horribly
easy easily
electronic electronically
Irregular forms:
adjective adverb
good well
fast fast
hard hard
but:
shy shyly
terrible terribly
safe safely
3. Use of adverbs
4. Types of adverbs
quickly
kindly
very
rather
often
sometimes
now
today
here
nowhere
Both adjectives and adverbs may be used after look, smell and taste. Mind
the change in meaning.
adjective adverb
Linda looks well. (How is Linda? She may have been ill, but now she is fit
again.)
One can assume that in the second/third sentence the adverb well is used,
but this is wrong well can be an adjective (meaning fit/healthy), or an
adverb of the adjective good.
Conclusion:
Use the adjective when you say something about the person itself.
Use the adverb, when you want to say about the action.
