starting from/on The following is an advertisement on English courses.
Courses starting from 3 January 2012:
General English for adults part-time
IELTS preparation
General English for adults full-time
Business English
Is 'from' the correct preposition? I was taught that it should be 'starting on". So I am confused, why 'from' is used.
Should it, in fact, be 'from' or 'on'?
Thanks.Last edited by Tan Elaine; 01-Dec-2011 at 18:43.

Teacher Re: starting from/on If that is the date that all the courses start, use "on". You could use "from" if they will be starting in a staggered fashion from 3rd of January onwards.

Re: starting from/on I would say "an advertisement for English courses."
