From or of? 'an article of a magazine' or 'an article from a magazine'? #1 (permalink) Fri Sep 19, 2008 15:18 pm   From or of? 'an article of a magazine' or 'an article from a magazine'?
 

When should I use 'from' and when 'of'? Is it, for instance, 'an article of a magazine' or 'an article from a magazine'? Tips or tricks?

From a magazine. Tip: avoid 'of' in this kind of situation. It seems to be a favorite of EFL students, but does not occur much among native speakers.

Yes, 'for February 28th' sounds good to me there, too. Or 'from February 28th'.
