I mean two well-known verbs such as إشترى (“to buy”) and باع (“to sell”) For exemple I say “I bought that in the market” or “I bought that from Ahmad”. How can I say that in arabic: إشتريت ذلك من السوق or إشتريت ذلك في السوق ? إشتريت ذلك من أحمد ? What sentence will be correct? And the next: “I sold this car to Mahmood” بعت هذا السيارة لمحمود or not? What prepositions should I use here correctly? Prompt me please!

إشتريت ذلك من السوق
Is the correct one

إشتريت ذلك من أحمد ?
Is correct

“I sold this car to Mahmood”
بعت هذه السيارة لمحمود is correct

we use (من ) for the verb (buy )
and (ل ) for the verb (sell)

إشتريت ذلك في السوق = “I bought that in the market.” إشتريت ذلك من أحمد = “I bought that from Ahmad.” "من " usually equals (of) & ( from) بعت (هذه) السيارة لمحمود = “I sold this car to Mahmoud.”
