from vs by

[Cshiv_Prasad]

I have a doubt regarding usage of from vs by
1.This was a gift from my mother.
2. This was a gift by my mother
3.This was gifted by my mother
I think 1 and 3 are correct although all of them convey the same message.
Are 'from' and 'by' exchangeable in certain circumstances?

Thanks in advance

From is the correct preposition. And we say given not gifted.

Hello Cshiv_Prasad,

Number 1 is fine.

Number 2 simply seems to have a word missing (before the word 'by'). A variety of words -- such as given, received, sent, bought, created, etc. -- could be inserted. Obviously, the meaning would change depending on what word you insert.

Number 3 is possible, but it is not very common to use 'gifted' this way in North American English. In AmE the word 'gifted' is most often used as an adjective. However, I think using the word 'gift' as a verb may possibly be fairly common in Indian English.

But does the word gifted have the same meaning as given? I think it has the same meaning as clever or expert.
