Once, I read somewhere that there is a difference between "tired of" X "tired from", but I canīt find this in any dictionary or grammar. Can anyohe help me? (And please, indicate the source, where I can find this)
e.g:
a. Anna is tired of doing her homework. [She no longer wants to do her homework. She is bored of doing homework.]
b. Anna is tired from doing her homework. [She feels physically exhausted from doing her homework.]
