Made of or made from?
Dictionaries say that "Made of" is talking about basic materials and "Made from" is talking about how something is manufactured...
One of their example is - It is "Plastic is made from oil." while "She wore a beautiful necklace made of silver."
I really don't understand and can't see the difference....
oil is also the material "before" plastic is made, there is no mention about how it is made.
