The 'From → To' Pattern

When we talk about change (like time or numbers), we use a simple bridge: from [Old] to [New].

Examples from the text:

  • 140 days \rightarrow 115 days
  • 105 days \rightarrow 90 days
  • 45 days \rightarrow 20 days

How to use it in your life: If you want to describe a change, just follow this map: from + (starting point) + to + (ending point).

  • I wake up from 8:00 to 7:00.
  • The price goes from 10to10 **to** 8.

Quick Tip: Notice that the words 'go' or 'change' often come before this pattern to show movement.
