"Starting from"

[ansonguy]

"Starting from" refers to a time in the past. I am going to make up a sentence with it.

(ex) Starting from fourteen months ago, Jack worked on his business project for seven months and then decided to put it aside.

Am I using "starting from" correctly? Thanks.

I'd omit 'from' in that context.

"Starting from" refers to a time in the past.

It can refer to the past, but it can equally be used to refer to the present or a future time.
