I did not really attend the online conference, but I knew what they were doing from/through the conversation I had (with someone) earlier.
Which of these (from/through) is correct preposition?

1Elaborate more on your future questions. If you want people to explain more, then ask for more, and provide them with more information.– cbbcbailCommented Jan 7, 2013 at 20:22

It is not impossible to use through instead of from there. The latter is by far the more common usage, however.– RobustoCommented Jan 7, 2013 at 20:47

The correct usage would "from" because the word through is usually used to describe movement. This movement can be through space or time but it would not work in this situation. The word from can also describe movement, but it can also be used correctly in this case.
