HideI hope this explanation of "until" and "by" was useful for you! Do you have any other questions? Can you think of another way to use this grammar? Please leave it in a comment! Thanks very much for watching, and see you next time!
Hello Cyril,
Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your new English language skills.
Yes, you are correct. You can use "by" here for the same meaning.
Feel free to shoot through any questions you have throughout your studies.

Hello,
So, for your second point, with "until", you're exercice's exemple is :
"I'll be at the office until 7 PM"
In this context, I can say "I'll leave the office by 7 PM" right ?
Thanks

Hello Mansur,
Thanks for taking the time to ask us your question.
You could use 'before' if you wanted to leave prior to 10am. For example: 9:30am, 9:45am. If you wanted to leave 'by' 10am - you could leave at that time or a little bit earlier.
I hope this is helpful to you. ๐๐
Sincerely,

Hello! Would it be correct to use 'before' instead of 'by'? : " We have to leave the beach before 10 AM"?
