Since/From

Since and from are both prepositions, but they are used in slightly different ways and contexts. Here’s a comparison with examples for each:

 

 

 

Since:

 

Since is primarily used to indicate a specific starting point in time or a cause-and-effect relationship.

Examples:

I have been working here since 2010.

(starting point in time)

 

She hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast.

(starting point in time)

 

He lost his job. He’s been unhappy since then.

(cause-and-effect relationship)

 

 

 

 

 

From:

 

From is used to indicate a starting point in time, place, or a range of values.

 

Examples:

I work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

(starting and ending points in time)

 

The book is from the library.

(indicating the source or place)

 

The price of the product ranges from $10 to $50.

(range of values)

 

 

 

 

In summary, since primarily focuses on specifying a starting point in time or expressing a cause-and-effect relationship, while from is more versatile and can indicate starting points in time, place, or ranges of values.
