| Nov 23, 2021 at 18:06 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I don't think many native speakers would particularly notice the choice of the less common preposition in local produce is sold by / from the village shop. Granted, from there more strongly implies that whoever grew the vegetables receives most/all of the proceeds after they're bought, whereas by implies the shopkeeper already paid the grower(s) when they delivered their produce. But these are just small nuances that might not apply anyway. On the other hand, no native speaker would ever accept each for 1 dollar here - it has to be for 1 dollar each. | |

| Nov 23, 2021 at 10:02 | comment | added | Negar Rezaei Nejad | @Mari-LouA Yeah i know. What if I want to put this sentence differently. A new laptop was sold by/from john to jen. By or from? | |
