Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct preposition. Replace "from" with "by" when indicating the source of a recommendation to ensure grammatical accuracy, like in "is recommended by".
Common error
Avoid using "from" when you mean "by" to indicate the source of a recommendation. "From" usually indicates origin or starting point, not the entity making the recommendation. Instead of saying "is recommended from," use "is recommended by".

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "is recommended from" is grammatically incorrect. The correct preposition to use is "by," to properly indicate the source of the recommendation.

Therefore, using phrases like ""is recommended by"", "is advised by", or "is suggested by" ensures grammatical correctness and clarity. Pay close attention to preposition usage to avoid this common error and maintain professional and academic integrity in writing.
