Usage tips
Word structure
'Daraus' (from it/from that) is a pronominal adverb and a fixed combination of 'da(r)' and the preposition 'aus' (from/out of). It replaces the combination 'aus + noun' when referring to a thing or a situation.
EXAMPLE
Das ist altes Eichenholz. Daraus kann man einen schönen Tisch machen.
That is old oak wood. You can make a beautiful table from it.
Sentence position
When 'daraus' (from it/from that) stands at the beginning of a main clause (position 1), the conjugated verb follows directly after it in position 2. The subject then moves behind the verb.
EXAMPLE
Er hat viel gelernt. Daraus ergibt sich eine neue Chance für ihn.
He has learned a lot. From that, a new opportunity arises for him.
Only for things
'Daraus' (from it/from that) refers to things, ideas, or situations, but never to people. When referring to people, you use 'aus' (from/out of) with the corresponding personal pronoun.
EXAMPLE
Sie ist eine gute Freundin. Aus ihr wird einmal eine tolle Ärztin.
She is a good friend. She will become a great doctor one day.
Context clue: consequence
When 'daraus' (from that) expresses a logical consequence, it often appears together with verbs such as 'folgen' (to follow), 'resultieren' (to result), 'schließen' (to conclude), or 'lernen' (to learn).
EXAMPLE
Die Studie war fehlerhaft. Daraus kann man keine verlässlichen Schlüsse ziehen.
The study was flawed. No reliable conclusions can be drawn from that.
Compare with
confusable
daraus vs davon
about it / away
'davon' and 'daraus' can seem similar because both refer back to something mentioned earlier. But the difference is important: 'davon' can express movement away from something or an effect caused by something. 'daraus' fits when something comes out of something, is made from a material, or results from something as a consequence. Learners confuse the words especially when talking about consequences. 'Daraus folgt ...' (it follows from this that ...) sounds like a result drawn from information. 'Davon' sounds more like a direct effect on someone or something.
daraus
Aus den alten Kisten baut Max ein Regal; daraus wird ein praktisches Möbelstück.
Max builds a shelf from the old boxes; it becomes a practical piece of furniture.
davon
Der Hund lief davon, als ein lautes Auto vorbeifuhr.
