Here's why:
* Prepositions: Words like "from" in this sentence are prepositions. They show the relationship between a noun or pronoun (the object) and another word in the sentence.
* Object of the Preposition: The noun or pronoun that follows the preposition is called the object of the preposition. In this case, "sympathy" is the object of the preposition "from".
