Notes '-에서/부터 ... -까지' is a grammatical structure used to describe ranges/ intervals in space or in time. The concept of 'a range' may extend to more metaphorical notions of sequences/ series described by beginning and end states or entities. The structure corresponds to 'from ... to' in English.
The '-부터 ... -까지' structure is normally used to describe temporal or numerical ranges. Alternatively, '-에서 ... -까지' is normally used when talking about physical or spatial ranges. However, these structures occasionally can be used interchangeably with no change in meaning.

The -에서 particle can occur combined with -부터 forming -에서부터 or the abbreviated -서부터.
In casual speech, -에서 may occur abbreviated to -서, in particular, when used with pronouns like 어디 → 어디에서 → 어디서, or 여기 → 여기에서 → 여기서.
