preposition of time in English

Is it also a preposition of time? If yes, it doesn't seem to be included here. For example: From 1918 to 1920 - is that an incorrect version of since 1918 until 1920 or is it correct way of referring to time? Or I've been sick from the time I went skiing - can from be so used referring to the period between going skiing until now or - is it closer to the meaning because of the event of skiing?90.190.225.121 08:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The time marker by itself is rare in American English unless followed by "to", such as "This is in effect from tomorrow", instead being "starting (from)". This is OR but is prevalent enough that there should be RSs somewhere. Mapsax (talk) 01:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
