から means “from.” It marks the starting point of time (and sometimes place). When you say a time + から, you show when something begins. Key points: • Time + から = from that time • Often pairs with まで to show a range • The start point is included • Used with schedules and routines Examples: “九時から授業が始まります” means “Class starts from 9.” “三月から日本にいます” means “I will be in Japan from March.” When you use から and まで together, you clearly show both the start and end: “九時から五時まで働きます.” You can also use から with places, but this point focuses on time. Be sure to place から right after the time expression. Practice by making your own schedule: 何時から勉強しますか。何時までですか。 These questions are very common in daily conversation.
