Questions & Answers about watashi no ie kara kaisha made densha de futaeki shika nai node, asa wa amari hayaku denakute mo daijoubu desu.
私の家 means my house/home. The sentence is talking about the distance or route from my home to my company/workplace, so 私の modifies 家.
- 私の家から = from my home
- 会社まで = to the company / as far as work
If you said 私は, that would make I the topic, not my home the starting point of the route.
They mark the starting point and end point.
- 家から = from home
- 会社まで = to work / up to the company
Together, A から B まで means from A to B.
This pattern is extremely common:
- 東京から大阪まで = from Tokyo to Osaka
- 9時から5時まで = from 9 to 5
In a sentence like this, 会社 usually refers to the speaker’s workplace, so in natural English it often becomes work or the office, even though the literal word is company.
So:
- 会社まで literally = to the company
- natural English = to work / to the office
