Other - From … to …

其他 — 从……来看

Here we deal with types of syntagms (nominal, verbal, adjectival phrases…) and their structure.

Elements

from … to …

How to use it

  • Use from … to … as a fixed expression, without changing the character order.
  • Placement: place from … to … at the beginning of a sentence or in an aside, just before the idea you comment on.
  • Context: use this formula to introduce an opinion, a reaction, or a transition in a conversation.
  • Start by memorizing the overall meaning, then reuse the formula in complete sentences.
  • Insert the formula in a complete sentence as a block, without breaking it or rearranging it.

Common mistakes

  • Do not break the expression into isolated words: it functions as a block.
  • Avoid literal translation and learn the overall meaning in context first.
  • Reuse the formula in a complete sentence, not as a single word.
