In this sentence: "Toukyou ni hikkoshite, go-nen ni naru, " => Since moving to
Tokyo, it has been [it comes out to] five years.

て-form is interpreted as if it was てから. Is this possible, and if so, usual? I
do see て-form quite frequently when sequencing actions and/or indicating a
causality (e.g. 家族に会えなくて、寂しいです). But so far, when explicitely expressing
"since" から had always been used. It would be nice if someone could explain
this phenomenon above, or at least point me to some ressources :)

question
て-form
Can から be omitted in てから?
I am a Japanese. you can use "Toukyou ni hikkoshite kara, go-nen ni naru" as
well as "Toukyou ni hikkoshite, go-nen ni naru" this type of sentence is used
when you want to show the "time lapse".

"て" of "家族に会えなくて、寂しいです" -> this sentence show a reason.

Does that make sense?
