Japanese Language 「Particles」 「Kara・から」 「Part 2」 「D」After the -te form of verbs, indicates an action begins immediately after the previous one ends: "after." Examples: 昨日私は仕事は終わってから買い物をしました。 Kinō watashi wa shigoto wa owatte kara kaimono o shimashita. Yesterday I went shopping after finishing work. 明日の夜、食事をしてから映画を見ませんか。 Ashita no yoru, shokuji o shite kara eiga o mimasen ka. How about seeing a movie tomorrow night after [having] dinner. 「E」After the -te form of verbs, used to indicate the passage of time: "since, for." Examples: 山田さんが大学を卒業してから5年になります。 Yamada-san ga daigaku o sotsugyō shite kara gonen ni narimasu. Five years have passed since Yamada graduated college. あの2人が結婚してから20年だそうです。 Ano futari ga kekkon shite kara nijū-nen da sō desu. I understand that it is twenty years since those two were married. 「I hear that those two have been married for twenty years.」 「F」Used to indicate materials used: "from." NOTE: Kara and de are similar in usage. however, the former tends to accompany materials that are the result of a somewhat complex process, whereas the latter is generally used with materials that retain, or appear to retain, their original state, such as wood, rock, leather, paper, and glass. Examples: ワインはぶどうから作ります。 Wain wa budō kara tsukurimasu. Wine is made from grapes. 豆腐は何から作るか知っていますか。 Tōfu wa nani kara tsukuru ka shitte imasu ka. Do you know what tofu is made from?
