“Until”
or “by”
? Which do you use? What about “till”
and “’til”
? What about “up ’til”
? Let me show you when to use each of these words in English. “By”
and “until”
are both prepositions of time, but they are used in different ways. Watch this lesson and test yourself with the examples in the second half of the lesson. By the time you’re done, you’ll have no more confusion.

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.
