Of / From 是介詞preposition類別,是專門用來構成短語去形容句前的情況,慣性放在句最前,所以又叫做[ 前置詞 ] .介詞短語內不容存有任何verb.


介詞後面的通常是 article+noun,pron.adj,及動名詞gerund.


例1: The city........城市

of Hong Kong......[ of=屬於...香港的 ] 這是prepositional phrase 形容The city
中文=香港的城市.


例2 : The legs ( of the table.屬於那枱的 )腳. chinese=枱的腳.


from也是一樣:He comes ( from China. 從中國) 來的他. chinese=他從中國來.


所有[介詞]被選擇适合形容句前的就可用來構成[短語]去形容句前,不是幾時用這幾時用那.
