To say ‘from’ we use the structure "из/с + Genitive case". Both prepositions ‘из’ and ‘с’ mean ‘from’, but we use them with different types of places.
ИЗ | С |
places (buildings, rooms and closed spaces) | places (open spaces or complexes of buildings) |
|
из магазина (from the store) |
с рынка (from the market) |
events, occasions, and plans | |
|
из отпуска (from vacation) |
с концерта (from the concert) |
Below are some more examples:
1. Я поеду из театра на такси.
I will go from the theater by taxi.
2. Мы поедем с дачи на электричке.
We will go from our dacha on the suburban train.
3. Обычно я езжу с работы на метро.
I usually travel from work by metro.
These rules are the same as for choosing between ‘в’ and ‘на’ (see here and here). For example:
- в театр – из театра
- на рынок – с рынка
- на концерт – с концерта
