~から (passive agent)

grammar

12 sentences

The particle から introducing the agent in a passive construction — 'by X.' Common when から (rather than に) feels more natural for the agent role, especially with verbs of communication, transmission, or receiving: 先生から褒められた ('was praised by the teacher'), 友人から聞いた ('heard from a friend'), 愛される, 慕われる, 尊敬される. Emphasizes the source of the action flowing outward.
