I didn’t think that would work!
Sometimes children are in and out of therapy within a few weeks. However, other times, I can be seeing a child for a long time (years). They (naturally) tend to get a bit bored and I am constantly on the look out for new games and ideas to keep the kids I work with motivated.
However, sometimes I stumble across a really simple idea that unexpectedly really captures the imagination of the child I am working with and motivates them to keep going. Elizabeth and I have collected together some of our unexpected successes here!:-

Muchos aprendices de inglés encuentran muy difícil entender la diferencia entre of y from. El motivo principal para los hispanohablantes es que en castellano solemos utilizar la misma palabra (de) para decir of o from. Por ejemplo, la oración “I’m from Spain” la traducimos como “Soy de España”; y en la frase “the best of all”, la preposición of también se traduce como de: “el mejor de todos”. Y esto ocurre en prácticamente todos los casos. Sin embargo, las preposiciones of y from tienen usos diferenciados en inglés que te voy a explicar a continuación.
Uno de los usos más comunes de la preposición of es para expresar posesión, como por ejemplo en las siguientes oraciones:
She’s a friend of his. (Es una amiga suya / de él.)
What’s the price of the car? (¿Cuál es el precio del coche?)
Aunque existen otras formas de expresar posesión, como los determinantes posesivos o el genitivo sajón, el uso de of como posesivo es correcto en muchos casos.
Of se utiliza mucho en expresiones comunes como “All of” o “Both of” para referirnos a más de una cosa o persona al mismo tiempo. Por ejemplo:
All of the people in the house were excited. (todas las personas)
Both of the children were having a good time. (ambos niños)
Otra expresión común con la preposición Of es la de “One of the most”, que además funciona con cualquier superlativo. Esta frase se utiliza para hablar de algo o alguien que destaca de entre un grupo. Por ejemplo:
This is one of the best bands I have ever heard. (una de las mejores bandas)
He’s one of the craziest people I know. (una de las personas más locas)
La preposición From se suele utilizar para hablar del origen de algo o de alguien. Por ejemplo, decimos:
I am from Brazil. (Soy de Brasil.)
This word comes from Latin. (Esta palabra proviene del Latín.)
Otro uso común de From es en combinación con las preposiciones to y until. En este caso, from marca el principio de una acción o estado, mientras que to y until marcan el final. Veamos algunos ejemplos:
I have an English lesson from five to six in the afternoon.
John will be on holiday from Monday until/to Friday.
Entender la diferencia entre of y from puede ser complicado, especialmente para estudiantes de inglés a nivel principiante. Sin embargo, con práctica, poco a poco te darás cuenta de los diferentes usos que tiene cada preposición y te resultará más fácil no confundirlos tan a menudo.
