🗓️ Time & Deadlines

When we talk about when something stops, we use 'by' or 'until'.

  • Until = the action continues up to a point.

    • Example: You can vote until June 30. (You can vote today, tomorrow, and the day after).
  • By = the action must happen no later than a specific time.

    • Example: Vote by June 25. (Do it now or wait, but don't go past this date).

Quick Look: Until → Duration (How long?) By → Deadline (When is the limit?)

👤 Person Groups

Notice how the text describes people:

  • Female athlete → Woman sports player.
  • Male athlete → Man sports player.
  • Girl soccer player → A young female playing soccer.

Tip: Use 'female/male' for official lists and 'girl/boy' for younger people.
