Make From


We use "made from" to talk about an object that has changed from its original state. We use "made of" when the object's material is obvious to us, because we see it. We use "made with" to talk about something created with two or more ingredients--usually for food. Note that when we use "made with," we don't have to mention all ingredients as long as others are implied.

Examples:
