Grammar
From
Hi, I have something that needs to be clarified in its meaning and in what context it is to be used.
What confuses me is the usage of from in its meaning of because of since I desire to know if from meaning because of is usable in every context, or is there any specfic contexts or cases for it being used to mean '' because of''.
- I feel exhausted from overindulgence.
- I didn't want to attend the meeting from sickness.
- I didn't work on the job responsibilities from laziness.
Are all of those above workable or make sense?
Your clarification for what makes me wonder will be hugely helpful for me.
Thanks

Hi,
I was late because of the rain. (from doesn't work in this case so you can't always replace because of with from). Hopefuly someone more knowledgeble will give you more insight on this topic.
