Typical Mistakes: Of or From?

English · Year 10 · A2+ · 12 questions

Remember: of or from?

Both words can mean von in German, but they are used differently.

Use of to show that something belongs to something else, or is part of a whole.

Use from to show where someone or something comes from, or who sends or gives something.

OF → belonging / part of something
The colour of the sky is blue.
Die Farbe des Himmels ist blau.
FROM → origin / starting point
She comes from Germany.
Sie kommt aus Deutschland.

Tip: Ask yourself: Is it about belonging or a part (of), or about origin or a starting point (from)?
