fabregas 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Hello my friends here. I always get confused when to use 'by' and 'from' for example " I thought mine was good but i got destroyed by sublime skills from him" or " I thought mine was good but i got destroyed from sublime skills from him" is that correct.? OMG i hope so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dominant Star 16 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Boleh juga kalau nk ckp by = sebelah from = dari.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betik 11 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) to add what Dominant Star has said... 'by' usually used for passive word...as if 'oleh' in Bahasa Melayu... 'from' usually used to denote a place, position..and also can be used to separate 2 things: 'you need to know right from wrong'... if i'm not mistaken ...
