From an early age
I want to say that, since we are young, our teachers introduce famous writers, or quote them, so we become familiar with their names.
Is it correct saying “from an early age we have famous writers introduced or quoted”?
My doubt is because I thought ‘from’ was a relative term that needed to be complemented with an ending term. Something like ‘from July to September I teach math’. However, lately I have run into the construction above in a few sources.
Here is an example I found @ https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/making-pirlo-early-age-i-knew-i-was-better-others
“Pirlo writes in his autobiography: ‘From an early age, I knew I was better than the others...’ ”
Thank you,
