Move the boulder from/off the road?

[Sammy Sam]

Suppose if you are driving down a road, having covered some distance you find a boulder blocking the road. You are accompanied by a well built, strong mascular friend who is powerful enough to get the boulder off the road.

Which one of the following is natural and grammatical?

He moved the boulder off the road.

He moved the boulder from the road.

If I am not wrong Americans usually prefer using "off". What about Britons?

 

[Rover_KE]

He moved the boulder from the road.

He pushed the boulder off the road.

 

[SoothingDave]

"Off" or "out of."

 

[Tarheel]

I'm okay with either one.

 

[jutfrank]

Use out of.

 

[Sammy Sam]

"Off" or "out of."

Even with "move" in American English? Like

"He moved the boulder off the road."
"He moved the boulder out of the road."

or

"He pushed the boulder off the road."

"He pushed the boulder out of the road."

 

[Sammy Sam]

Use out of.

With "moved", "pushed" or both?

 

[jutfrank]

With "moved", "pushed" or both?

With 'moved', which is what you asked about.

With 'pushed', use off.

This has nothing to do with American English, by the way.
