It is the last moment you can do something. <br />âUntilâ is a duration of time. It is all the time between now and the last moment you can do something. <br />And now for an example. <br />A man runs into a hospital and says to the receptionist, âHelp, help! I just swallowed some poison! I need to see a doctor.â <br />And the receptionist say, âOh, Iâm sorry, sir, but thereâs been a major catastrophe today, and all of our doctors are busy until tomorrow. But, there is a private clinic around the corner. If you go there you should find a doctor. The only problem is that, because itâs private, youâll have to pay.â <br />And the man says, âI donât care! Iâm going to die. Iâll pay anything.â <br />So he runs to the private clinic and he says to the receptionist, âHelp, I need to see a doctor! Iâll pay anything you want!â And he holds out his money and the receptionist says, âOh, thatâs okay, sir, you pay at the end of the consultation. Please fill out this form and Iâll make an appointment for you.â <br />And the man says, âWell, when can I see the doctor?â <br />And the receptionist says, âWell, heâs quite busy this morning, heâs busy until this afternoon, but he should be free by four oâclock.â <br />And the man says, âFour oâclock! But Iâll be dead by three!â <br />And the receptionist says, âOh! Well, in that case, please pay now.â <br /> <br />âââââEn Françaisâââââ <br />Quelle est la diffĂ©rence entre âby" et âuntilâ? <br />âByâ represente un moment unique dans le temps. Câest le dernier moment, durant lequel on peut faire quelque chose. <br />âUntil" represente une durĂ©e de temps. Câest tout le temps entre maintenant et le dernier moment durant lequel on peut faire quelque chose. <br />Et maintenant, un exemple. <br />Un homme entre dans un hĂŽpital, et il dit au chef de rĂ©ception, âAidez-moi, aidez-moi! Jâai bu du poison! Jâai besoin de voir un mĂ©decin!â <br />Et le chef de rĂ©ception dit, âJe suis dĂ©solĂ©, monsieur, mais il y a eu une catastrophe, et tout les mĂ©decins sont occupĂ© jusquâĂ demain. Mais il y a une clinique privĂ©e prĂšs dâici. Si vous allez lĂ , vous pouvez trouver un mĂ©decin. Le seul problĂšme, câest que la clinique est privĂ©e, vous devriez payer.â <br />Et lâhomme dit, âJe mâen fiche! Je vais mourir! Je vais tout payer! <br />Donc, il court Ă la clinique privĂ©e et il dit au chef de rĂ©ception, âAidez-moi! Jâai besoin de voir un mĂ©decin! Je payerai tout ce que vous voulez. Et il montre son argent et le chef de rĂ©ception dit, âPas du problĂšme, monsieur, vous payerez aprĂšs la consultation. S'il vous plaĂźt remplissez ce formulaire et jâarrangerai un rendez-vous pour vous.â <br />Et lâhomme dit, âDâaccord. Quand est-ce que je peux voir le mĂ©decin?â <br />Et le chef de rĂ©ception dit, âIl et trĂšs occupĂ© ce matin, il est occupĂ© jusquâa lâaprĂšs-midi, mais il devrait ĂȘtre disponible Ă quatre heures.â <br />Et lâhomme dit, âQuatre heures! Mais je serais mort Ă trois heures!â <br />Et le chef de rĂ©ception dit, âDans ce cas, sâil vous plaĂźt payez maintenant.â
