hervorgehen vs folgen

to follow

'folgen aus' and 'hervorgehen aus' can both say that something arises from something else or follows from it. 'Aus etwas folgt etwas' emphasizes the logical consequence: if one thing is true, the other follows. 'Aus etwas hervorgehen' is often used when a piece of information, a result, or an origin becomes clear from a text, report, conversation, or process. Learners may confuse the words because both are used with 'aus' and describe a result. 'folgen aus' fits especially well for conclusions. 'hervorgehen aus' works well when saying where a piece of information or a result comes from.

Visual example for folgen
hervorgehen

Aus dem Bericht geht hervor, dass die Kosten gestiegen sind.

folgen

Aus deiner Aussage folgt, dass der Termin nicht sicher ist.
