Good day friends, here is another short and simple lecture in English as a Second Language (ESL).
And of course, as usual, this short lesson is presented in the easiest way possible. Enjoy reading!
By the time + Situation/Something happens
Let’s take a look at these
examples:
It’s too late to go to the cinema now. By the time we arrive there, the movie theater will be closed.
By the time we arrive there= between now and at the time that we get there.
We can also use By the time + Past time expression. Take a look at the following example:
SITUATION:
The conference would start at 8:00 a.m.
Jane woke up at 7:30 a.m.
She got stuck in traffic; she arrived
at the office: 8:15
The conference had started. (..because it was scheduled to start at 8:00)
SENTENCE:
By the time Jane arrived at her client’s office, the conference had started.
We can use by then instead of
by the time.
Example:
Jane arrived at the office at
8:15. By then, the conference had started.
良い一日の友達、ここに第二言語としての英語（ESL）でのもう一つの短くて簡単な講義があります。
そしてもちろん、いつものように、この短いレッスンは可能な限り最も簡単な方法で提示されます。読書を楽しむ！
