很抱歉，现在还没有听说instead from的用法，还有instead of 本身就是rather than得意思。

下面是我查找的instead of的用法：

1．  作为短语介词，instead of 后面常跟名词、代词和动名词，偶尔也跟复合结构。例如：
I have come instead of my brother. He is ill.
I will go instead of you.
If I hadn’t got a cold I’d be working instead of lying here in bed.
Instead of doing it himself, he got a man to do it.
Instead of lending a hand, he laughed at us.他不仅没有帮我们一把，反而嘲笑我们。
They must make up their own minds instead of our making up their minds for them. 他们必须自己做出决定，而不是有我们来代替他们作决定。
It’s me that should ask you instead of you asking me. 应该是我问你而不是你问我。

2．  Instead of 后面还可跟形容词、副词、动词、不定式、介词短语和从句，这时他相当于连词，但也有不少人认为他们是介词。但是，对中学生来说，重要的不是他的词性，而是他的用法。请看下面的例句：
Taking exercise every day makes him look younger instead of older. 每天锻炼身体使他显得更年轻而不是苍老。（连接形容词）
But the businessman grew worse instead of better. 但这位商人的情况没有好转，反而进一步恶化了。
I go to bed late instead of early.我总是很晚才睡。（连接副词）
That increased instead of decreased our courage. 这增加而不是减少了我们的勇气。（连接动词）
The price rises every day instead of sinks.
He proposes to do some work instead of to watch television.他提议做些工作而不是看电视。（连接不定式）
A word of encouragement might have made me respect instead of hate him.他若是说一句鼓励的话，那么我或许不会恨他，反而会敬重他。（连接不定式）
In warm weather he often reads under a tree instead of in the library.
天气暖和的时候，他常常是在树下而不是在图书馆里读书。（连接介词短语）
As a result, silver begar to flow out of, instead of into, the country.
结果，银开始流出而不是流入该国。
