CONFUSING TIME EXPRESSIONS IN ENGLISH | on/in time? | at/in the beginning? | recently/lately? ...

on/in time? | at/in the beginning? | kill/waste time? | recently/ lately? | finally/eventually? | before / ago? | until/by?
Hi Everyone,
Today let's look at some of the most confusing time expressions in English. I know it can be hard to understand the subtle differences between these phrases, but let's take a look at these together step-by-step.
Is there a specific pair you need to focus on?:
ON/IN time 00:43
AT/IN the beginning 03:29
KILL/WASTE time 06:02
RECENTLY/LATELY 07:21
FINALLY/EVENTUALLY 09:12
BEFORE/AGO 14:00
UNTIL/BY 16:01
TEST 18:44
Are you confused about any of these other topics? Take a look:
BESIDE or BESIDES? • BESIDE or BESIDES? | I...
GERUNDS or INFINITIVE? • GERUNDS & INFINITIVES ...
TO ME? or FOR ME? • TO or FOR? TO ME or FO...

Hi Arnel, can you please tell me the grammar rule of using ‘being’ in a sentence without auxiliary…I have seen news reports like this Eg : Tribunal appointments being taken lightly: Supreme Court May I know what the rule is?

[@aboobakarsiddiq1457]

@@shuhaibgurukkal5302 in this auxiliary is there actually but it is hidden the sentence is actually like this tribunal appointment which is being taken lightly and it goes so on.In news they write it in short or brief

In the beginning, I wondered if it would be boring, but at the beginning of the lesson, my mind was changed. It was a video full of information. Finally, I watched it without missing a second. You are our lovely teacher😊

[@haec_est_vita_mea]

As always, another great lesson! I am glad I took the test "at the end" to finally be able to say that I aced it "in the end"! I have one more suggestion on a similarly time-related explanation between "for now" and "by now" unless you already did it in one of so many wonderful lessons of yours. Thank you, teacher Arnel!

Hi Arnel. I've already written a lot of comments below your videos and watched lots of your lessons either. And to be honest I don't know how to express my gratitude for your really tremendous work.

I loved the exploited brain icon the you used to explain ago and before. I did it great in the final test, thanks to your explanations Arnel. My examples: - I'm always on time for my meetings. - My bird Snowy wakes me up in time for working. - In the beginning, it was difficult to understand English, later it was natural.

Hi, your videos are comprehensive, and I need to request you to upload a video on IELTS grammar structure on compound, complex and complex-compound sentences and other grammar structure which you find useful to us.

[@VictorHernandez-yw4xq]

Hey Arnel. A week ago I wrote or commented first time. Before only watch you. I waste the time on TikTok. When l go some place and they don't attend me soon a kill the while read something. At the beginning of this class I don't listen nothing because the volume is very slow. Recently I'm studying grammar. Lately my listening have improved. The pairs most difficult was finally and eventually.

[@ArnelsEverydayEnglish]

Finally and Eventually are definitely challenging! Great understanding of the other pairs, though! :) ;)

Thank you so much for the lesson.💜 I got right 6/7. Arnel, is there a difference between "As usual" and "As always"?

[@ArnelsEverydayEnglish]

Great job on the test! Normally there isn't a difference between these two phrases and people often use them interchangeably. As usual, this meal was delicious. As always, this meal was delicious. BUT! If we want to be picky, "as always" is stronger because it's something that happens all the time. Hope this helps! :)
