… because the weekend is coming!
On time x in time
Ulisses Wehby de Carvalho
As duas locuções on time x in time costumam gerar bastante confusão para o aluno brasileiro. On time significa “pontual”, “na hora prevista” e demais sinônimos. In time, por sua vez, quer dizer “com tempo suficiente”, “um pouco antes do horário marcado”. Os exemplos ilustram a diferença entre essas duas expressões.
- Jack: What time does the meeting start tomorrow? Susan: At 9 am, but please be on time.
- Jack: A que horas começa a reunião amanhã? Susan: Às 9 horas da manhã, mas, por favor, chegue na hora.
- I’ve sent Carol a Christmas card. I hope it arrives in time.
- Enviei um cartão de Natal para a Carol. Espero que ele chegue a tempo.
