Grammar
I'm from / I was born...
Hi everyone,
When someone says : "I'm from London", does it necessarily mean that he was born in London? Or only that he lives there now, and might have been born somewhere else?
Thank you so much!

, but I use the utterance ' I'm from.. ' to indicate places in which I have resided for a length of time, attended school at length, or from which I have absorbed regional characteristics-- either in the past or in the present. I don't believe I have ever said ' I'm from Kinston ' (which is where I was born).

I'm not British, so I don't know about London., but I use the utterance 'I'm from...' to indicate places in which I have resided for a length of time, attended school at length, or from which I have absorbed regional characteristics-- either in the past or in the present. I don't believe I have ever said 'I'm from Kinston' (which is where I was born).
