从东京来的飞机到了吗？/从东京的飞机到了吗？
I had a question from my student when I was teaching "从", and here comes a sentence:

从东京来的飞机到了吗？(Has the plane from Tokyo arrived?) In this sentence, 从 is used as "from". He then asked me can we ask the question this way:

从东京的飞机到了吗？ I know this one is wrong, but I can not explain it.

Does anyone know how to explain it? Thanks a lot.

Answer

Hey Vera:
I thought that this is a shortened form of the 是。 。 。的 pattern.  I was told that you can leave off the 是 but not the 的。 Because the sentence is emphasizing where the plane is coming from (是从东京来的 )using the pattern is the most natural way to say it.

Answer

you can also think that  the second setence is short of predicate
