BY vs. UNTIL - What's the difference?
Today, I want to talk about the difference between "by" and "until" when we're talking about time. Here are some bullet-pointed examples for each meaning:
By:
• I need to finish this report by 5 p.m. (This means the report must be finished at or before 5 p.m.)
• She promised to be here by 8 o'clock. (This means the latest time she will arrive is 8 o'clock.)
Until:
• I need to work on this report until 5 o'clock. (This means I am currently working on the report, or I will start working on it, but I will stop at 5 o'clock.)
• She's going to be here until 8 o'clock. (This means she is currently here, but she will leave at 8 o'clock.)
I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time.
