Examples:

「E」After the -te form of verbs, used to indicate the passage of time: "since, for."

Examples:

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?

Hope this was helpful!
