Grammar review
Use from for origin, source, starting point, and separation: from Canada, learn from mistakes, the train from London, and different from. Some choices depend on meaning rather than the noun alone: made of wood means the material is still visible, while made from grapes means the original material has changed. This B1 practice also includes accepted British English alternatives such as different to, while keeping different from as the preferred exam-safe answer for international tests and formal writing.
