English Grammar - By or Until?

By or Until? "I will be there by 5 pm" or "until 5 pm"? What is the difference? In this English lesson, I talk about these two time prepositions, giving many different examples to highlight their meaning. By the time you take the quiz on this grammar lesson, you will know when to use by and until. You can take the quiz here: www.engvid.com...

[@pocketknife2789]

I was quite perplexed by the difference between by and until before I took your lesson. You explained it really clearly and now I can tell that there are distinct differences between these two words.

[@marinaporelmundo5098]

[@suhaspatole5388]

[@sergiotaki9]

What you're talking about is the Past Perfect and it's used to refer to an action in the past that happened shortly before another past action. Example:"I had worked until 7 pm that day when my sister came visit me."

[@rondiarelli]

Miss Emma, I undertood your explanations! Very clear. Thanks a lot.

[@asimalshaikhmubarek9694]

I have seen lots of your videos on youtube and I really like them but what i like most is when you say "about" it's kinda cool and funny lol. Thank you so much for those videos, I got a good score at IELTS after I watched your videos .

[@U.M.M.F_Meme_Lab]

What's up with the subtitles??? It does not match the video "hell is a place fiery and hot." "who the hell on hell is that?"

[@marcelinopaulzamora2152]

JAJJA es verdad No se entiende muy bien. 😕

[@MikuMiku-mv4do]

😒 it is because it uploaded 12 years ago 😂

[@U.M.M.F_Meme_Lab]

[@user-kk8hq7qc5c]

[@Ricky-l4t]

I will finished the learning this channel BY the end of this year, thanks Emma.

[@wsgsantos]

Emma this lesson was very useful. I like the way you teach. Her diction isn't slow, but clear. By the way, is correct to use the word "your" to previous phrase instead the word "her"? Thank you!

[@ucjapecuch9094]

so where it was like" By the end of the year I will have been there" - as the future perfet.I was learn that way that when we have By we have to put "will have P.P."

[@DennisViews]

I want to learn more about English,because i want to meet someone to other country soon,,,like Europe and American Etc,,,Thanks Ms.Emma u are nice teacher.Dennis from Philippines.TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

[@valdezenglishcourses]

Excellent explanation Emma, You teach English very well. Your examples to explain the difference were very simple and easy to understand. Keep working on your videos. You are helping a lot of people around the world. By the way, we can also use the by phrase in the future perfect tense for example: I will have finished my new house by December 2012. As you told Emma by gives the meaning of before or exactly at the specific time.

[@l.calderon.8282]

Thanks Emma. I got the differences between "by", "until" and "by the time".

[@yoasshole1]

You make it look so easy! Thank you very much for this video, Emma! Keep it up! :)

[@charlesvanstreek9265]

You still the best teacher of English yoou make happy to follow your video thank you

You're very very good Emma. It's so easy to learn with you. Thanks a lot!

[@pgm713]

Both have similar meanings but the second sentence puts more emphasis on the activity. When reading the second sentence, there is a higher probability that the speaker will get their essay done by February as opposed to the speaker in the first sentence. To give more reassurance to your teacher or boss that you will finish the essay, I would use the second sentence. I'm not a grammar expert, but that is how I would differentiate the two sentences.

[@SteveZussou]

Bloackbuster is still open in Sydney Australia, you should visit someday. ;-)

[@김대진-q1f]

English became easy for me after meeting your site. Tank you very much^^*

[@jungjessica8480]

I work in a restaurant until 10 pm. ( the situation continue up to 10 pm ) I can relax by the time I back to school ( the situation before or at the certain time ) I have to return some stuff by the end of October ( the situation before or at the certain time )

[@claudiatoledano571]

Teacher I love the way how you explain and pronounce.Than you. God Bless you.

[@MrMawaishanif89]

thanks for your help teacher to get me out of the confusion between these two words.

[@caocuonglb]

thank you so much! i from Vietnamese, i am studying english. i often study on youtube, especaily wactch your lecture.

[@justogonzalez5070]

Excellent class Emma, although I have a doubt. As you are talking about an event or situatiion that is in third person of singular, shouldn't I say "continues up" instead of "continue up"? Thanks.

[@khyel]

Teacher Emma is awesome. Thanks for the lesson.

[@elenshemona3001]

Hi Emma. You’re a very beautiful, clever and wonderful teacher. I adore you. Good luck to you. Thank you so much for your lessons.

[@patidarinstitute]

After thinking a lot, I got one more answer. The word " until " defines a VERB, it belongs to the verb while the word " by " it defines a NOUN. 1. I worked until 7.00 pm - What did i do until 7.00 pm ? - The answer is " worked " its a verb. 2. I need to return my movie by January 12th . - What I have to return by January 12th The answer is " movie " its a NOUN.

[@alexandrati2618]

Thank you Emma, I have one questions - Why we not use "before/at/continue up to" , but we use " by/until"? It is for short's word? Or it is has another reson?

[@tenma0nhokquy]

"the thief was gone by the time I called the police" Why you use passive here? thank you :) love all your Vid :)

[@edvanbomfim6772]

I will be learning English from you until I am 100 years old, I love it so much.

[@aldobiglari4575]

Please explain the use of effect and affect as well. Thank you.

Affect is verb while effect is noun

[@aungnaingshwe1014]

Thanks teacher Emma for a very helpful lesson! but about by the time, is that correct " the thief had gone by the time I called the police" instead of "the thief was gone"?

Hi teacher thank you so much. Can your explain the difference between "is gone" and has gone. Please...

[@mikiobros]

Thanks a lot, Emma. The topics you choose are always appropriate for me and your explanations easy to understand. Would you be so kind as to help me tu use properly all the futures tenses ?(the future simple, the future perfect, the future continuous, the future continous and the futur perfect continuous). It isn't always as easy that it seems. Have a good day.

[@Hary300]

I will be stay at the party.....midnight. I think This sentence is similar with the final example. I will be at the restaurant by/until 8 pm. But why must we use only until for the first example?.. Thank you

[@fannysin2618]

Hi Emma, May I ask when I dun intend to specify the period, can I say "i studied by 7pm."? Thank you!

[@singhsaab6947]

please upload video of what are rules of using infinitive and gerunds

[@candrasitumorang9285]

By looking the teeth's horse you can tell its age. Is it right with form: 'using by the time before verb'?

[@WJack97224]

Hello Emma. So appreciate your efforts to help educate us. I see people use plural pronouns referring to singular nouns, e.g. Everyone should use their turn signals when turning while operating their cars. The word "everyone" is singular and so I believe it requires a singular pronoun such as his. So, I would say, Everyone should use his turn signals when turning while operating his car. What say you? BTW, you are cute and you do great presentations, Good on ya mate.

[@ellsobreira]

nice class, i understood the difference between them, really thanks

[@ismaciilcabdulahi407]
