Difference between ON TIME & IN TIME | English Grammar

In this video I explain the difference between "on time" and "in time" using several examples. Even advanced English learners sometimes get confused about this.

Thank you, it’s very useful...

It's crazy how much meaning and context is wrapped up in one little preposition!

british accent is everything. i had the opportunity to handle with british people when i worked in Algarve, Portugal. Despite the fact i am just a student of english, i could understand them and i've noticed how polite those people were to me there.

I like all accents :) (at least most of them!) And yes, the British are known for their politeness :).

Hello! I don't know whether I get theanswer, but I have a question. In the example with mother-in-low 3:35 do we need Past Perfect?

[@SumedhaManabaranaKandy]

Your lessons are very methodical and you know very well what you're doing. Your finer details (additional points) add more value to your lesson. I feel Murphy. Love your accent and your touch of humor, too ("My brother slipped in the mud. Luckily, I arrived in time to see it." :)) Sure to come back and see you again. :)))

Thank you very much for your kind comment, and I'm glad you enjoy the lessons! No :), I don't know anyone named Eric. He's just a character in my mind! Unfortunately I can't make videos full-time at the moment, but I will publish a couple more very soon!

[@alf_life]

I can do this job well and on time. So I do it before deadline. - is it right? On time? If it is just before deadline I will use "in time"?

[@EnglishwithMax]

Yes, I think you can say that. However, it's more common to say something like: I can do this job and finish it on time. You could also say "finish it in time", if you mean you will finish it before the deadline.

[@vladimirgorbachev7300]

Thanks. I have liked to feel "the little differences" since time of "Pulp Fiction":)

[@EnglishwithMax]

Is that a reference to something in the movie? I've only seen it once!

[@vladimirgorbachev7300]

You very well explained the difference between "on time" and "in time". As for the movie, there is such a dialogue: VINCENT .... But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is? JULES What? VINCENT It's the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they're a little different.

For some reason your message was sent to my spam, but I can see it now. Yes, I remember that conversation. I understand what you mean now!

[@mimigouda9977]

thanks a lot for your excellent explaining but you said that '' in time ' = too late . is that mean if i need to take a bus at the bus station and i arrived there in time . does that mean i caught the bus or didn't. thanks much

[@EnglishwithMax]

I know it's a bit confusing ;). "In time" means "not too late". So if you arrived at the bus station in time, you caught the bus. In other words, you had enough time to catch the bus.

[@joelbeltran8740]

Can you make a video of the use of ing and infinitive and how to know wich verbs should we conjugate with each one, please.

I definitely can, but I have a long list of videos I want to do, so I can't promise when!

Hello Max. It is great to study English with you. I wrote two sentences, here they are: * My girlfriend and I arrived IN TIME to get good seats at the movie theatre last night. * I have an appointment at 10:30 with the president, I must be there ON TIME. Please correct, thank you so much and I'll see you next time. Bye!

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

Hi,max

[@arnoldmike235]

You look cute and attractive today and your lesson is good. So, we can summarize the lesson by saying that "on tome" means at the right time, and "in time" means before the right time - is that right?

[@EnglishwithMax]

Yes, that's basically it :).

[@segredosdecamarim1525]

I like your sense of humor hahaha

[@Rafael_Raihan]

How about "on weekend or on a weekend"? 1)For example, you have to meet her on weekend or on a weekend. Another thing is "on tomorrow"? 2)For example, you need to submit the paper on tomorrow before 12 noon. Are those sentences number 1 and 2 correct?

[@EnglishwithMax]

1) You have to meet her on the weekend. (Sometimes we say "on a weekend", if we're not being specific about which weekend, but it's not very common.) 2) You need to submit the paper tomorrow before 12 noon. (We never say "on tomorrow".)

[@ФирдавсФайзиев-щ2я]

Do you hate your mother - in - law? You say: " Fortunately I remembered in time and left before she arrived". As for me, I am more of a " in time" person. Although I wake up early in the wee hours but I am not always on time to my work. I am always in time. We can miss a lot of good things in life if we are not punctual or accurate. So, let's always be on time. Thumbs up! Charts!
