| − | Chinese has a very similar structure to English for saying "from ... to ...":
| + | #REDIRECT [["From… to…" with "cong… dao…"]] |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="jiegou">
| |
| − | | |
| − | 从 A 到 B
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This can be used for times and places. For times, the structure is:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="jiegou">
| |
| − | | |
| − | Subject + 从 + Time 1 + 到 + Time 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is the easiest way to talk about doing something from one time through to another. Remember that there are two options for the [[Time words and word order|word order of time words]], so the 从 ... 到 ... phrase can go before or after the subject.
