Dear teacher James. After your good explanations about "by" and "until"/ "til" I feel more safe to write. Thank you lovely teacher.❤😂❤

[@XurshidMatnazarov]

As an ESL teacher from Uzbekistan, I always found it difficult to explain the difference between 'by' and 'until' to my students. However, I instinctly new the difference if I had to use them. Thank you James, now I know how to explain it as well.

Your videos and expressions are amazing, so useful to speak better english. Thanks so much! But i want to ask smt for you all, is there any solution/website or dictionary to check the validity of the words? I mean we all learn an english expression or a word, but i can't be sure if the word is old-fashioned or not especially if i didn't see the expression in the tv series.

[@xim3594]

Question. So "by" and "at" are the same?

[@chieckhangioam8304]

I afraid they aren't the same. As i know, "by" is like the action should be done before or on the given day but not after. And "at" as you know, it is at the given day. It's too long since you've questioned, sorry about that🌷

[@lemonyskunkketts7781]

Hi, James how do you do? Why you make videos late and second think is that try to make videos after 2 days or 4 days through this we may connect. Your videos are really helpful for me. From India

[@vap3799]

Hello, James! I am confused about this sentence you used: "I will be finished work by 5 o'clock tomorrow." Could you be kind to explain what tense is that, please? I ask because I watched Rebecca's lessons about English tenses and there is no future tense that use a "will be + vb + ed" construction. Future Simple would be: I will finish... Future Continuous would be: I will be finishing... Future Perfect would be: I will have finished... Future Perfect Continuous would be: I will have been finishing... What am I missing here? Thank you.

[@lilyever6529]

Please what the word to replace sorry for example if someone is hurt in my presence

[@euphratessful]

(Quiz question no.1) I thought answer should be "till". Because you can finish it before the June 1. it's not a certain time

[@teresaskinner5401]

Do you have a video explaining "than" "then"

[@guilhermedrummond2239]

awesomee!!!

[@faridkashani1713]

Hi James. Thanks for your amazing English videos. I think that your third example on 7:05 is wrong. "I will be finished work by 5 o'clock." Please correct me if I'm mistaken. I think it should be: I will be finished at work by 5 o'clock.

[@Xxxx-xe1jd]

Thanks, you're a great man. btw why comments include answers like by; until ; by/until. Why i couldn't say the second answer like by, thx
