(In the Toeic listening test)
A man is fishing from the shore.
--------------
What does the "from" here mean? Does it mean "used to express removal or separation, as in space, time, or order"?
Why not say something like A man is fishing at/on/by the shore? I am saying so because I think the man is exactly at/on/by the shore, rather than at a distance away from the shore.
What do do you think?
