Hi. 1. Usually I arrive at the airport in time, but it was one case when I was late and wasn't allowed on board. 2. It's about time to prepare myself for bed, because it's almost midnight. 3. It's time we went out to see sunset.

[@saravananneother4868]

It's really time we subscribed this channel to improve our English.

[@semplicementeanita6563]

The other day I went to the dentist's and my appointment was scheduled for 5 pm. Since I had a few errands to run before going there, I was happy to be able to arrive ON time. After having my tooth fixed I headed towards the area where I had parked my car (improperly😬) and noticed a tow truck driver was just about to hook it up. Luckily I was just IN time to persuade him not to do it and to prevent the catastrophe. 😁 It's about time I got lucky (for a change!)

[@yamintzk778]

We had mad rush to the airport last year August, the flight is 8:00 AM and we woke up at 6:30AM and we packed our things and run straight to the airport. We just arrived in time. We had to do cleaning stuff in toilet of the airport. Thanks so much for this lesson.

[@c.santos5331]

Thank you so much Ally for your english lessons!!! You´re a excelent english teacher!!! I´m brazilian and I don´t need subtitles for undestand your speech!!! Thanks!!!

[@natureluc8234]

I'm in time to watch this video as it is released because when I watch your other videos I'm never on time (suposing that i have a schedule for watching your videos). this pandemic it's the right time to watch over and over all of your videos.

[@nicolaspalaciosvillarraga1420]

You are the best teacher I have ever had!!!! Thank you so much

[@e.a.1297]

Yayy our beloved teacher has dropped a video❤️🎈

[@nh974]

It was about time we met a great teacher making grammar & learning as interessant as fun(ny)! Thanks a lot Aly, you rock! I always ensure that I'm in time at the airport to daydream before my flight. By snoozing I could miss it but, fortunately, an alarm wakes me up on time for boarding. If not, I guess it would be high time I got a louder alarm, or a new smartphone…

[@aliaghaei5732]

Although I wasn’t on time to watch your last live on KZbin, I saw it later and I realized that It’s really about time I subscribed you not to miss any of your videos in future !

[@gonzachambi3937]

Throw out of the club 8:27 how Aly teach us in a very practical way a phrasal verb 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@outrokrq1101]

I cannot believe i’m that early to your highly useful and riveting video. Speaking of time, i can consider myself to be in time.

[@shivangikhanna6068]

Excellent explanation! I didn't know why sometimes the past tense was used. It was about time I learnt it!

[@shinegivietnam1833]

The lesson opens my mind. I thought I clearly clarified IN TIME & ON TIME before but after watching your video, I found I missed some points. Now I totally get it. Thank you. Cảm ơn.

[@kurianmx6646]

Well, wonderful lesson. The subtle differences are explained as clear as crystal. Cheers!

[@mateussaragiotto2221]

I arrive at my work erveryday five minutes before starts. So, I arrived on time. Now I understand the diference. Thanks for the vídeo.

[@lubovlebedenko1560]

Thanks a million! Your lesson is amazing as usual! It's about time I told everyone about your lessons!

[@TelmaS]

Great! In portuguese we can use "on time" to say "a tempo, na hora" and "in time", "com tempo de, em tempo de". Perfect! Thank you!

Ali, thanks! I have been learning English for a year and just in time I found your wonderful channel!

[@BMWRR-rg5ev]

I never fly on a plane yet so I can't do an example in this case. And I'm not uni student too. But I can say: Sometimes I do some homeworks just in time maybe half a minute before the teacher ask for it.

[@eliduran4182]

Great explanation! So easy to understand. Thanks 🤓

[@gladysdasilva6878]

Thanks! A great class! Very clear the explanation!!😊😊

[@GeneRauXxX]

İt is about time I watched more of your videos? they are puurrfect :) thank you so much. Yesterday a friend of mine just asked the difference between on time and in time. I couldn’t really answer in a perfect way. Now I can do much better work. Thanks again!

[@user-of7td9oo7d]

That is splendid! Fun and creative as usual.

[@annavoznyuk5820]

I'm so glad that I've found your channel. I really like the explaining and some acting is quite helpful to understand and remember better :) Greetings from Ukraine!

[@Pewtah]

Great explanations! Now I can use both expressions with more confidence. In German, my mother tongue, there are also both expressions: "on time" = pünktlich; "in time" = rechtzeitig.

[@mr.ahmadm1512]

Thanks to share..🙏

[@kangzhendong1915]

It's about time I learned the interesting difference between "in time" and "on time". Fortunately, it is on time to catch up this video lesson, in time to practise it here.

[@ashauniverse2244]

Thank you, Papa!

[@bangmirwan3879]

[@stefaniaferrari2033]

It's high time I told you how much I adore you!

[@ismailabdelli7287]

I Like the way you explain Aly , love you ❤️, could talk about some old English words in video please ?

[@maiahmed1652]

-It's about time i started to think about my future. -It's time we finished our tasks. Regarding the very first question : I remember my trip to Greece , the airport was about 4 hours away from my house so I made the reservation to be there in time , 1 hour before the flight takes off , anyhow i just got there just on time 10 mins before it takes off , i was too late and i was about to miss it . I think if i had missed my flight to Greece , I would've been so upset.

[@grecialis]

Thank you for your video. It was very helpful. Right now I know the difference between on time and in time 😉⌚

[@Mana-dv9wo]

とても勉強になりました😁

[@jayfromthesky]

It's about high time you did a video on this confusing topic. I fully appreciate it. I was a bit late due to work but I arrived in time at the party to see my girlfriend blow out the candles.

[@alinouraabi4470]

on time and in time they are most useful in english so thanks ever so much teacher ❤️💗

[@Vivaswaan.]

This sure was a confusing topic. And I say it *was* , because after the wonderful explanation, it *is* not anymore.

[@arielgarcia6916]

Hey... Is that valid for American English?

[@arielgarcia6916]

Even "About Time" ?

[@Vivaswaan.]

@@arielgarcia6916 The grammar of a language doesn't change with the region it is spoken in. The rules of grammar are same for everyone, be it British, American, Australian, German, Colombian, Indian. What differs is the accent and the phrases or expressions. It is different in different places. This is the reason we have the country's name as the adjective before the word 'English'.

[@Vivaswaan.]

@SRBPS आकाश ਆਕਾਸ਼ AAKASH ah! Yes. You are right. I stand corrected. As for the example you've stated, it shows us how the grammar isn't affected by geography. It's the difference in expressions or the way the way sentences are formed adhering to the rules of grammar. There can be more than one way of saying something, and that's what I had pointed out. As far as the difference is spelling is concerned, you are right. And I am fully aware of the fact. Furthermore, the vocabulary also differs, like the use of the words 'lift' and 'elevator' to describe the same thing. But I felt, this wasn't bearing any connection to the question asked, so I didn't mention it.

[@Vivaswaan.]

@SRBPS आकाश ਆਕਾਸ਼ AAKASH I guess you are failing to see that this lesson is about grammar and the meaning of the phrases mentioned in the video. What's being taught is not a slang phrase or a local expression. It is used everywhere and can be used everywhere, as he is talking about English in general and not British English or British expressions. Sure, he teaches British English but not in this video.

[@lorenomenezesdasilveira]

Finally I understood the difference and similarities! 👌👍

[@holgerpaxi2288]

Excelente...!!!

[@kanitaram8851]

great job

[@johnconnor9787]

You are a really cool teacher

[@soumiabatoul5319]

I subscribed to this Channel long time ago, but I didn't get ur news! Thanks a lot Papa

[@oliverr.5254]

I highly recommend the sci-fi movie "In Time" with Just In Tim....berlake. Regarding the plot of movie and your explanations it makes perfect sense that it's not called "On Time".

[@helenhello2375]

Right, nice example!

[@newloggers]

Hi Aly :) Yes, I've had once. Two years ago, I and my friend were trying to get to the airport. We had a flight to Bosnia. You know what, the traffic is terrible here in Turkey, especially in İstanbul. İn that morning, we had a mad rush to the airport. We got in a taxi and then metro. Thank god, we made it :) We arrived in time :) By the way, it's really time I watched Harry Potter :)

[@aysebetulozer1214]

In Turkis we say "Tam zamanında" for in time and also we say "Kılı kılına yetişmek" for on time :)

[@erkansamc2045]

Super!!

[@omarsayed-tech8349]

hello, i'm sorry for asking this question, but i want you to make another video specifically about ''DUE'' and how we can use it, actually it sounds baffled to me and i can't comprehend the meanings of it, in some cases i'd prefer using it like, with all due respect and due to as the meaning of because of. i hope really to dedicate one video about it and thanks a lot for your efforts and your awesome videos, go ahead.

[@xxxyyy8016]

perfect

[@TheM4UR0S]

I just arrived in time for this lesson 🤓
