から and まで, from and until

[A] から [B] まで

から marks a starting point in time or space, まで marks the end point. They work together or on their own.

The mistake to avoid

から also means 'because' when it follows a whole sentence, which you will meet later.

Examples

くじからごじまではたらきます。

I work from nine to five.

駅まで歩きます。

えきまであるきます。
