GRAMATYKA

Made of, made fromróżnica w zastosowaniu

Obie konstrukcjemade of oraz made fromoznaczają „zrobiony/zrobiona z”, „wykonany/wykonana z”. Używamy ich jednak w innych kontekstach.

Made of

Tę konstrukcję stosujemy, mówiąc o przedmiocie wykonanym z materiału, który można rozpoznać na pierwszy rzut oka i który nie zmienił swojej formy.

Przykłady:

This table is made of wood.Ten stół jest zrobiony z drewna.

(Widać, że jest to drewno, jego forma nie uległa zmianie).

This toy is made of plastic.Ta zabawka jest zrobiona z plastiku.

(Patrząc na zabawkę, możemy stwierdzić, że do jej wykonania użyto plastiku).

Made from

Tego wyrażenia używamy, mówiąc o przedmiocie, który został wykonany z materiału tak mocno przetworzonego, że na pierwszy rzut oka nie widać, z czego ten przedmiot został zrobiony.

Przykłady:

The pudding is made from milk.Budyń jest zrobiony z mleka.

(Patrząc na budyń, na pierwszy rzut oka nie możemy stwierdzić, że jest zrobiony z mleka, bo mleko zostało przekształcone w zawiesinę, więc zmieniło swoją pierwotną formę).

The paper is made from wood.Papier jest zrobiony z drewna.

(Nie jesteśmy w stanie rozpoznać drewna, gdy patrzymy na papier; jego forma uległa zmianie).
