This is a question that I have often been asked by my students. When should they use “on time,” and when should they use “in time,” and what is the difference? The difference in spelling and pronunciation is minor, but they are used very differently.“On time” means that there is a specific time established when something is supposed/expected to happen, and it happens at the planned time. For example, if a train is scheduled to arrive at the station at am and it actually does arrive at am, then we say that the train is “on time.”Similarly, someone has a job interview scheduled for pm, and they arrive at pm, and the interview starts at pm as planned. Then we say that that person was “on time” for the interview and the interview started “on time.”We use the adjective “punctual” to describe someone who is always on time for any meetings or other we use the phrase “in time” when we want to describe something that happened before it was too late. Maybe something bad would then examples“Tom arrived at the airport just in time to catch his flight”. If Tom arrived any later, he would have missed his flight.“Jane did not get her dream job because she did not submit the application in time”.So, “in time” is used whenever there is a deadline for something. If you miss that deadline then we say that you were “out of time”.The phrase “in the nick of time”This is a common phrase in English, and it is used to describe a situation in which you meet a deadline or prevent something bad from happening with very little time to spare. ExampleI had to submit my assignment by pm at the latest and I managed to email it to my tutor at pm, just in the nick of was very badly injured when he crashed his motorbike. The paramedics arrived in the nick of time to save his you can see how changing one letter in the preposition from “on” to “in” gives us a completely different more examplesBack to the Future 1985The Post 2017The Majestic 2001In the Loop 2009 EnglishWhich is correct I'm a British native and worked as a lawyer in London for 30 years.

The meaning of idiom not a moment too soon is almost too late It is used as- The ambulance arrived not a moment too soon. If I form the sentence in the following- The ambulance did not arrive a moment too soon. Would this be grammatical or idiomatic? James K183k13 gold badges211 silver badges355 bronze badges asked Mar 31, 2019 at 503 When expressing the idea of something happening only just in time, it is perfectly acceptable to say "The ambulance didn't or did not arrive too soon, or a moment too soon". One is not restricted to the form "[something happened] not a moment too soon". One can say that something didn't happen a moment too soon. But for hissing audiences, it didn't happen a moment too soon. But before this picture, Fox had given Donlevy the opportunity to play comedy on screen.

It is more clearly and carefully used like this The ambulance arrived not a moment too soon. It is even more common to include and in the expression. Something like Then the ambulance arrived. And not a moment too soon, for she was about to die. answered Mar 31, 2019 at 547 Jim ReynoldsJim Reynolds9,93721 silver badges43 bronze badges You must log in to answer this question. Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged . 1 The question appeared in my recent exam. Choose the sentence that best joins each of the following pairs of sentences. 'I did not arrive in time. I was not able to see her off.' A. I did not go there, so I could not see her off. B. She had left because I was not on time. C. I arrived very late to say goodbye to her. D. I was not early enough to see her off. I didn't get it. Does 'not in time' mean 'very late' or 'not early enough'? 3 I'm sorry for not having given my answer. I had a gut feeling that C was correct, so I chose it. 4 D is the best answer. C and D have essentially the same meaning, but C would have to read "I arrived too late to say goodbye to her" in order to be correct. The opposite of "nick of time" is "I just missed it" usually with that emphasis on "just" or "I just barely missed it." "I got to the airport on time but the security line was so long I just barely missed my flight! Argh!" The "on time" will be perceived, in these days, as "ahead of when the flight was supposed to depart, with enough time theoretically to get through the security scanners." In general, arriving "on time for [something]," without any explanation, will be perceived as arriving at the right time to achieve the goal - a test, transport, doctor's appointment - even if you have to arrive "early" from the nominal time. How much early? You'd have to explain that part. "I was on time for my doctor's appointment - 15 minutes early, so I had time to fill out the paperwork." "I got to the airport on time - 2 hours before the flight, since the website said I should allow for that much time to make it through security." If you arrive "in time," then that has connotations that you were rushing, or that you barely made it perhaps without knowing that the timing was getting "tight"!. "I made it to the airport in time, though I thought I was going to be an hour early! Those security lines were huge." "I got home in time to sign for the package, even though it was a day early!" "I made it to my connecting flight in time, hooray! Now let me catch my breath from running." Which one is correct Submit your work in time. Submit your work on time. gold badges306 silver badges399 bronze badges asked Mar 22, 2011 at 1749 0 "In time" usually has an implicit "for some event", whereas "on time" means "before some deadline". The "event" could be a deadline, but in that case "on time" is much more common. Examples "I got there in time for the parade" "I delivered the report in time for him to read it before the meeting" "I got to town in time for/to catch the last train" "I got there in time" - meaning "in time for some event which is assumed to be known". but "I got there on time" - meaning "before the deadline" - which may be known to the hearer, but does not need to be, because the phrase itself implies a deadline as opposed to some other event. answered Mar 22, 2011 at 1815 Colin FineColin gold badge94 silver badges196 bronze badges 0 On time means at a particular designated time, neither especially early nor late. The train is scheduled to arrive on time at 1336. In time means early enough, before a deadline or another cutoff. Passengers were required to be at the gate by 305pm; we didn't get to the airport till 3, but there was no line at security, so we still made it in time. gold badges306 silver badges399 bronze badges answered May 5, 2012 at 440 chosterchoster43k21 gold badges105 silver badges165 bronze badges 2 In this case, "on time" is the proper choice.

If I say, Please submit your paper in time. You may ask In time for what? But if I say Please submit your paper on time. You might ask When is it due? answered Mar 22, 2011 at 2300 kojirokojiro2,0958 gold badges19 silver badges30 bronze badges 1 The two are both proper grammar. However, they carry different meanings. "Let the task be done on time." implies it to be completed by a certain time usually a scheduled deadline and no later. "Let the task be done in time." implies the task should be completed by the specified time. Let's use different verbs "Let the task be started on time." implies it to be started at a certain time and no earlier. "Let the task be started in time." implies the task should be started by the specified time and no later. Because of limited context, it is hard to say which would fit this case better. answered Aug 1, 2012 at 1734 Luke_0Luke_02,5233 gold badges24 silver badges36 bronze badges 4 You would use "on time" to mean by a certain specific date an time.
