Grammar

""from" or "of"

He leapt out "of" his car and ran quickly toward his house.
He leapt out "from' his car and ran quickly toward his house.

I felt confused between "of" and "from" for so long.
In the situation above are both work or not??
Thank you very much.

Hung Sai Cheong "of" and "from" He leapt out of his car is the usual expression. If you use 'from', you will be understood, but it's not the most natural way to say it. CJ

You can say this. And also, if you are standing outside of your home,
