  • This video is about the expression of time "by the time." Frequently misused, this expression can be used for a past, present or future action, meaning "at some point before." By the time is followed by a clause with a relative time that specifies an end or completion time. Students tend to confuse it with other expressions that have similar meanings.
    This lesson is for elementary students who wish to study or review English grammar and vocabulary and for students who reached an advanced level but who wish to brush up on some grammar rules.

    @1:58 is that structure always true? what if say: "I was very tired by the time I finished my work". Here, we are not using past perfect. according to your structure, it should have been said like this: "I had been very tired by the time I finished my work". Let me know your opinion please.

    I have few questions and I'm really confused about it
    1. By the time he arrives, I will have slept for 8 hrs. (correct, right?)-refer to future
    By the time he arrives, I have slept for 8 hrs. (correct, right?) - refer to present
    2. By the time he arrives, I will be sleeping for 8 hrs. (correct??)
    If it's not correct, how to say that?
    Can I say, when he arrives, I will be sleeping for 8 hrs. or when he arrives, I'll sleep for 8 hrs. (which one is correct?)
    3. Finally, what's the difference between by the time and when? how to use them.
    Best Regards
    Annie
