How many times have you found yourself still staring at your textbook around midnight (or later!) even when you started your homework hours earlier? Those lost hours could be explained by Parkinson’s Law, which states, “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself all night to memorize those geometry formulas for your quiz tomorrow, you’ll inevitably find that a 30 minute task has somehow filled your entire evening.

We know that you have more homework than ever. But even with lots and lots to do, a few tweaks to your study routine could help you spend less time getting more accomplished. Here are 8 steps to make Parkinson’s Law work to your advantage:

1. Make a list

This should be a list of everything that has to be done that evening. And we mean, everything—from re-reading notes from this morning’s history class to quizzing yourself on Spanish vocabulary.

2. Estimate the time needed for each item on your list

You can be a little ruthless here. However long you think a task will take, try shaving off 5 or 10 minutes. But, be realistic. You won’t magically become a speed reader.

3. Gather all your gear

Collect EVERYTHING you will need for the homework you are working on (like your laptop for writing assignments and pencils for problem sets). Getting up for supplies takes you off course and makes it that much harder to get back to your homework.

The constant blings and beeps from your devices can make it impossible to focus on what you are working on. Switch off or silence your phones and tablets, or leave them in another room until it’s time to take a tech break.

5. Time yourself

Noting how much time something actually takes will help you estimate better and plan your next study session.

6. Stay on task

If you’re fact checking online, it can be so easy to surf on over to a completely unrelated site. A better strategy is to note what information you need to find online, and do it all at once at the end of the study session.

7. Take plenty of breaks

Most of us need a break between subjects or to break up long stretches of studying. Active breaks are a great way to keep your energy up. Tech breaks can be an awesome way to combat the fear of missing out that might strike while you are buried in your work, but they also tend to stretch much longer than originally intended. Stick to a break schedule of 10 minutes or so.

8. Reward yourself! 

Finish early? If you had allocated 30 minutes for reading a biology chapter and it only took 20, you can apply those extra 10 minutes to a short break—or just move on to your next task. If you stay on track, you might breeze through your work quickly enough to catch up on some Netflix.

Our best piece of advice? Keep at it. The more you use this system, the easier it will become. You’ll be surprised by how much time you can shave off homework just by focusing and committing to a distraction-free study plan.

wooooow….i toke the quiz and i answered all correctly :D

Hi, greetings. I am very happy with this website, Thanks.

Thank you so much Emma. you are great teacher still right i heard.

Great lesson Emma!

Hi Fatima >May I talk to you

I got100. All right.

thanks for you

I appreciate your teaching like that. You are a great teacher.

You rock engvid

at last I understand! Thank you, great exposition :)

Great lesson :)

thanks for a new lesson. Got my eyes opened for such kind of mistakes) If I’ve mistaken sorry)

Awesome lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!’

Thanks for the lesson. Got 10 out of 10. :)

Thank You Emma !!!

Hi,is very helpfull. I hope you do continue such lesson.

Thanks a lot

10 out of 10 :)

Thank you. (in Thai–Khop khun kha)

Emma, I find this lesson very useful, believe or not, I was going to ask you to do it, but you anticipated my intention. I’d like to ask you something, and it has to do with quiz on this lesson. Look at this example: The weather report says it will rain _____________ Tuesday. After Tuesday, the rain will stop. So, the correct answer was UNTIL, that’s ok, but if we say until tuesday, it means at 00:00, which is exactly midnight. So, if it rains until tuesday, the rain will stop on tuesday, and not after tuesday. This really confuses me, so I need your help.

To simplify this a little bit, I’ll use the same example where I’m gonna use the preposition BY. The weather report says it will rain BY Tuesday. So, the rain will stop on tuesday at 00:00, or before, on monday which is previous day. Or simply, when we say on tuesday, it means after tuesday, hence wednesday?

Thank you for your question. All this means is that the rain will stop sometime on Tuesday. For example, it can stop at 12:01 am, 9 am, 4 pm, etc.

Hi teacher, My name Anh Th, i’m 13 Can you give some sign about until and by.

Tell me if I’m wrong but, if I say:The weather report says it will rain BY Tuesday. It means that the rain will start Tuesday and probably will go on; we don’t know how many days.Instead if I say:The weather report says it will rain until Tuesday. There is bad weather before Tuesday but Wednesday it will be good. Am I right?

hello! i think if you used by in your sentence, then it means before or on tuesday, it’s finite time hope this helps

Dear EMMA , very useful, for me and my students as well ! Thanyou

Assalam-o-alaikum! Emma,I am S.M.Salman from Pakistan. I am an English Language teacher by profession.I want to bring to your notice that I really found your Lecture about By & Until interesting and fruitful.

Pearls of wisdom

Hi, Emma. I have a question: till and until, I can use anyone of them in any sentence.All your examples I can replace “till” allowance ” until” , for example, I listen this song” It’s not goodbye” there is a sentence ” till I see you again”, I can replace this sentence like this” until I see you again”. is this correct?, thank you Emma , wonderful lesson, great work, and , is this example is correct 1- the Rebecca and Ronnie were the best teachers in the engvid until Emma, I mean , they were the best teachers and now , you are the number one ” the best”. thank you again Emma

Hi hudhayfah,

You are correct. You can replace till with until in any of your examples.

Emma, what’s the difference between RENT and HIRE? Thank You in advance.

Hire means contract someone to do something. Rent means pay to use something you have to return. Example: 1.My parents will hire an nurse to take care of my brother who is sick. 2.I am going to rent a DVD. (Remember that you have to return it to the person who rented you)

Hire means contract someone to do something. Rent means pay to use something you have to return. Example: 1.My parents will hire an nurse to take care of my brother who is sick. 2.I am going to rent a DVD. (Remember that you have to return it to the person who rented it to you)

Hire means to contract someone to do something. Rent means to pay to use something you have to return. Example: 1.My parents will hire a nurse to take care of my brother who is sick. 2.I am going to rent a DVD. (Remember that you have to return it to the person who rented it to you)

Thank you Jeffer123, if that is the difference, I understand. I’ll do it something in return. You’re not supposed to use an indefinite atricle AN before the words that begin with consonants. Not only letter is important, but also the voice. Here are some examples: An apple, an orange, an hour etc. A piece of paper, a book etc. But, pay attention when using these: Some advice, some information and so on.

I mistyped second sentence, I mean I’ll do something in return. . .

Ok, thank you for correcting my mistake.

Hello Emma! Great lesson but I have one question) Why do we use Future Simple but not Future Perfect in this sentence: ‘I will finish my homework by 4 pm.’?

You can use both the simple future and the future perfect with “by”.

eg) 1) I will finish my homework by 4 pm.

2) I will have finished my homework by 4 pm.

thank for making me clearly understand about by and until.

8/10 thats a good started ha:)

Thank you Emma. it was such a great lesson

Thanks Emma !

I love this site, thanks for lesson.

hi its very useful thanks for lesson but what is mean this example? i go school by car. and what is mean by the way. good time

“By” has more than one meaning. In your first example, “by” means “using”.

eg) “I go to school by car” is the same as “I go to school using my car”.

“By the way” is an idiom used in conversation. It means incidently.

We use it to add information in a conversation or to start a new topic.

Thanks for your good and interesting lesson, Emma. I have a question: In this sentence we can use the boths forms of the preposition: My goal is to lose five pounds until/by May. Am I right in this?

Braazilian Hugs

The sentence using ‘until’ sounds strange. For this example we would use ‘by’. If you said you want to lose pounds until May, it sounds as though you plan to regain more weight after May. This is something most people don’t plan to do.

Alternatively, you can say I won’t lose five pounds until May. This means it will take you up to May to lose the weight.

Regarding this particular example, since until is used in case of continuation of work, will it be right if I say: My goal is to keep loosing five pounds until May. …? Thanks a lot for wonderful lessons.

Great! Didn’t even know about this subtlety. I could surely say “I need to return my movie until Februaty 12th” until you’ve taught this :) by the way, you are gorgeous!

it’s very useful.thanks a lot.by the way; can you make a lesson about the double letters in the words.I think It would be very useful.

The computer did the quiz for me what it this?

Dear Ms Emma, I think the second example of “By” is the same as the example of “Until”. Can i use “Until” for this example.

Thanks for your help.

Which example do you mean: question number two on the quiz or an example from the video? Please be more specific.

Interesting, but i am confused yet

Thank you. :)

Thanks Emma ,You’re a good teacher ,but we need to open mind to grow up .The lesson is so useful.Thanks for your time.God bless you .take care .

until next time Emma. yes it was helpful this lesson, thanks 4 your effort, u made my day. viva Canada. hell yeah.

Hi EMMA , THAX SOMUCH

thanks emma……………

Dear T.Emma, To begin with, many thanks for a perfect lesson . Secondly, I am still improving my accent until up to date . Luckily,I found you by ENGVID WEB SITE.

thanks Emma . it was very interesting

Thanks teacher, your lesson is very useful

Thanks Emma you’re a fantastick teacher

usefuk lesson, tanks

Emma is my favorite teacher

Interesting and worthful lesson. Thanks Emma for all the lessions.

Quite an interesting lesson. Thank you! But I’ve got a question about expressions with “by the time”. As you said, we should say: The subway was closed by the time I left work. Can I use Past Perfect here (the subway had been closed)? What is the difference?

Excellent question! Although in literature and everyday conversations, people often use both the simple past and the past perfect with by the way, grammar books will suggest to use it with the past perfect.

eg) The subway had closed by the time I finished work.

However, it’s important to note that people often use them interchangeably.

wonderful and clear lesson, Thanks a lot!

thank you miss really nice topic…….

Thank you Emma. Currently I’m working in Saudi Arabia, my english is still need to improve. So glad to find this website. I scored 10 out of 10 :) GBU

Dear prof. I wanna know which is better: Dose ur brother always do a lot of exercise OR Is ur brother…..??! tx.

I’ve got it !!!! Doubtlessly the 1st 1 . ;)

lesson ıs good but ı was very bad ın quiz.xxx quız…

Dear Emma Thank you very much. When I was at school I asked my english teacher what the difference between until and till is and she said to me “you have to discover by yourself” so I have been confused for a long time. I was scared of making mistakes all the time. Nobody could explain it as clear as you did..WONDERFUL.

Hi Emma , Thank you for this wonderful lesson. The thief was gone by the time I called the police ( you wrote on the board ) i think it should be The thief had gone ….right ?

Hey, first of all, thanks for making the video. I’ve got a question, what’s the difference in this case between by and at? I’ll use the same example you used. So could I say I will finish my work at 4pm instead of saying I will finish my work by 4pm? what’s the difference? Are both alright, or at is wrong? I hope you can asnwer my question and thanks again for the video

Both sentences are correct, but they mean different things. Remember, “by” means both before and at 4 pm. If you use “at”, you are not talking about before 4 pm. It means you will finish your work exactly at 4 pm.

Dear Teacher,

Thank you for your good lesson.

have a great day ahead.

Thank you Ramu

Hello emma! my name is vanderlei, i’m from brazil, i do enjoy your class, i’ve been learning alot with you. Congratulations you’re a great teacher. I hope you can post more videos, cause i like the way that you give class. I’ll become happy to receive some message of yours. Kisses! thank you for all!

Thanks to you, dear Emma, my score was 9/10. I made a mistake with the question n. 8: I don’t understand very well the meaning of this sentence. Bye!

very well thank you

Thank you so Much emma <3

I was great. Thank you Emma.

It a really nice class. It is very clear, thank you.

can i say “i will finish my homework at 4 pm” or i should use by.

Hi emanahmed,

“I will finish my homework by 4 pm” means you finish it before 4 pm or at 4 pm, but no later. If you will finish earlier than 4 pm, use “by”.

If you will finish exactly at 4 pm, use “at”.

If you will finish close to 4 pm (for example, 4:03 pm or 3:55 pm) you can also use “I will finish around 4 pm.”

Thank you for your lesson :)

Hi Emma Thanks a lot for this educative & wonderful lesson.By the way,I have a question.Why we say,”The teacher gives the class and the students take the class?”What is the difference?I mean why can’t we say that the teacher takes the class?

It’s not related to our lesson! @@

i haven’t got your answer?

Thanks Emma, I like your videos, I mean they’re very helpful and clear.

I am sure this lesson help to speak better ty

I’m not married, and I believe in soulmates. But I am a worm. Are you interested in worms?

Ronnie is one of the best teachers in the world

Have you ever met Mr E? I’m sure James would be very glad to introduce you!!

thanks Miss Emma actually this lesson was pretty useful to me and i really got the intention to learn more and more from you , thanks for your great efforts.

Really awsome video , loking for more video…..

Both the lesson and the quiz are good. Thanks a lot, teacher.

hey Enis, I think The thief was gone and The thief had gone are the same. Have you ever listened to the song “when you’re gone” by Avril Lavinge? Try it once.

thankxxxxx i understood the lesson and my quiz scored 8 out of 10. not bad

I’m a new student

I will be studying English here until I get tired of it. heheheeheh I will be very tired by the time I finished with all the lessons in EngVid.com Cool

thanks you are very clever teacher ilove u

you´re so beautiful…

Hello madam Emma! the lesson was very informative and nicely delivered, one thing I noticed that u forgot to put the apostrophe and when you realized you put it on the wrong place. apostrophe’s right place was before “s” whereas you placed it after “the letter.” Am I right????

You and Ms. Emma both can be right because Emma meant it was PARENTS (both Mom and Dad) so she put it after ‘S’ while you meant PARENT (either Mom or Dad) so you could put it before ‘S’. =] Hope it will help you!

your lesson so useful. thank you Emma. thanks for all teachers in this web site they are all great.

Oh God… Some answers are still wrong. I think I need learn more from you Emma. ^^

you are teacher good and the lesson very useful.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

thank you .,.,.,.,.,

Cool. Thank you so much

Dear Emma! It easy to notice that you CARE about your teacher’s mission. Many thanks for your sincerity. One point I would like to add. I think it would be easier to explain the difference between “until” and “by” by using key words, which are PROCESS for “until” and RESULT for “by”. Take care and say my warmest hello for all your wonderful colleagues!

great lesson

Thanks Emma, I learnt a alot from ur videos.Quiz was good.this site is very very helpful and clear.

hello Madam, this is best site to learn English language. I would like to know about concept of preposition,gerund, infinitive and complex sentences …… use of even , though yet,as if and lest.

hi, every teachers realy my first participation to your website hope to get and bring also. second its pleasure to see all this people share same emotion same culter and same gols . third all whish to successe to your noble gols .at the end see you in that time

Hi Emma: I got 90% marks, excellent !Your teaching method is superb, carry on the good work and teach grammar like this until we become master of grammar. Thank you very much.

Hi… Emma I really enjoy this Class. You’re great. But I have a different question which is not related to this topic. I wanna be clear about the nouns. Because sometimes people including me very confusing. What I mean is, Look at this example: The different between ‘teacher and teaching, player and playing, writer and writing and so on’. Let say the words teaching, playing, and writing here are nouns. Ex: Speaker 1: Hey, did you go to study with teacher Thomas? Speaker 2: No. I didn’t like his teaching. Another one is: Speaker 1: wow, look at that player, he can catch the ball calmly. Speaker 2: Yeah, you’re right. I like his playing.

Can you explain that please? If possible you can make a new video about that. This is very useful. Sorry about my English written. I need to be improved. Thank you very much Look forward hearing from you soon.

Thomas East Timor

Your right. Some nouns end in ‘ing’. It is easy for students to confuse these nouns with the -ing form of the verb. Your examples were good. I can say I like his writing, I like your teaching. I like his dancing.

However in sports, we don’t usually say ‘I like his playing’. It’s too vague for sports. You could use a more specific word like ‘pitching’.

thanx emma ı understood this clearly..you are good teacher

Thank you, Very nice work

i want to say somthing u are good teacher but when u teach i saw more words dont know then so may i please explain all word you teach

Hello! Great lesson! Are there teachers on EngVid who have online private students ?

I also mean to say Teacher Emma speaks very clearly and her lessons are very very nice! Thanks!

Now very clear,and I am very interesting with this lesson. Thanks for (Emma). And I want you(Emma) teach a lot about (by). You can find me on (Google+).

thank you very much Emma for this lesson.i want to learn french and i’m looking for a website like engvid can you please help me .best wishes

thanks for the class Emma,GOD Bless u..

Really great teaching. I’ve never been sure with until/til vs by/By the time. Now I am. Thank you so much Emma,

u r best.give some more lessons ASAP..

Hi Emma! Your explanation was intelligible enough not to confuse the prepositions any more. but what about negative sentences? Are the rules the same? Can we use UNTIL in negatives? ‘I won’t be at the restaurant until 5’.Does it mean that I can not stay there till 5 o’clock? Thanks for the answer

Thank you for your question.

In negative sentences ‘until’ means something a little different. The easiest explanation for ‘until’ in a negative sentence is it means ‘before’.

eg) The two sentences below have the same meaning.

I won’t be there until 5 pm. I won’t be there before 5 pm.

I won’t see you until Monday. I won’t see you before Monday.

emma u never answers my quetions ronnie is beter than u she atleast answers

I think she’s kinda busy! =]

Thank you Emma for your helpful lesson, could you just answer me on a q is (the) which nouns I should put with like: 1- I’m going to bed or to the bed? 2- I’m at the party or just party? and why

Well, the lesson is awesome! Can we differentiate by and until by considering action? I mean, until seems to be more related to actions taking place during time and by/by the time seems to be more related with specific moments. The idea of considering before is common to both, then I think that concept can be somewhat confussing to help deciding when to use one or another.

Thank You Emma for the lesson You provided, it was very helpfull !!!

I’m just discover you and i’m glad about that. You’re the best teacher that i’ve never known. You teach clearly, thank you very much !!!

i am Malaysian. I like your all of the lessons which your teaching.Thanks a lot. Emma, can you give more lessons for speaking and pronunciation in the website? Emma, how to improve my presentation as im skeptical for my presentations in the university.

And the last question, are the phrase ” the fact”= ” to be honest ” and ” As far as i am concerned” = ” As i was saying ”

Thank you so much, teacher. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely, Fong

Thank you :)

Thanks Emma

dear mam, thanks for ur valuable lesson..i appreciate the way u all people teach. its only because of engvid.com that i improved a lot..

This is great.. thank you so much. The way I understood your lesson, Until has something to do with allowable or allotted time Where in By is more on a duty or a due due time, a responsibility and by the time is dealing with two actions happening at the same time… Correct me if I am wrong..

thanks a lot and more power Emma..

Thanks Emma….I want to thank jul also for puuting that question…it was very useful….

i’ve got the lesson, thanks Emma ;)

Hai Emma, Really a nice topic.I want to clarify my doubt Emma. ‘by” is normally used by us to teach the students about the future perfect.But after listening the video i must be very careful to handle the class. Is there any specific reason of using ‘by’ used in your video. Any how nice attempt.Keep going on with more such complicated topics.

Thanks a million for the lesson!

thank you very much.your lesson helpes me improving my English

thanks Emma it was really helpul to me.

Emma that was nice..i got a question in formation of BY THE TIME..is there any format of forming a sentence using by the time..i mean the time of two verbs..before BY THE TIME and after BY THE TIME…eg. present tense + by the time + present tense…i hope u got what im asking..:-)

thanks emma ur lesson very nice for me .and how i can imvroved my english …i mean how i can be good alike u in english …i hope from u understand on me ..and tell if that wrong in my letter this ,,,,,,,thanks again

THANK U so much its useful for every one..:)

Thanks Emma.I like your teaching method

I’m happy because I found you…www.engvid.com!!! I am Cuban and I’m living in the US two years ago. I want and need to learn English. Thanks a lot!!!

I love your lesson and pronounce. It’s so clear!! Thank you~

thanks teacher! i have a question: the exercise 1 on your video can use “by” and “until” like the last exercise?

Dear Emma I have a question on until and till..

Sentence 1: We have pulled the report from our website. We don’t find any defaulters till date.

Sentence 2: We have pulled the report from our website. We don’t find any defaulters until date.

In the first sentence i am assuming that “till” refers “till today”..If so, what does that mean “until date”..And “until” also refers “till today”??

i think both sentences are correct

As Ms. Emma said both UNTIL and TILL are the same meanings but UNTIL is formal while TILL is informal. So if it’s on website, you should use UNTIL for formality

Thanks alot … this lesson is very helpful.

Hey, Emma, Thank you for Grammer Lesson. as far as I learnt, by 4 PM means not included at 4 PM..before 4 PM,, but until( till ) 4 PM are included at 4 PM and before 4 PM as well.. ??? What do you think ??

I think 4 pm should include if we say by 4 pm. Emma can clear this thing more clear

hi emma are you a nice teacher

Hi Emma, you’re a great teacher! I have a question for you: in the sentence “It will rain until tuesday” can I also say “It will be raining until tuesday”?

Thank you Emma.

Hi Dear Emma. Please talk about difference between Future perfect and Future perfect continuous. Thanks

About this issue I still have any questions.That´s not clear for me when I have to use “by” or “until” becuase I notice that, im my opinion, the use of these words also depend on the context, that is, the role is conditined to the context given. Let me know your answer about my opinion

exelent leesson!!! when you are a spanish speaker those words are very hard to understand but you explained those words very well

I was confused until I took this information ,,,,,thanks a lot

hi Emma thank you for a lessen , but i got question !! what does ‘by’ mean at the end of sentense ? ALL the best billel

Hi Emma thanks very much for this beneficial lesson i like your simple way of presentation. i’ve go question if possible what is the differenc between “by the time” and “as” as adverb of time? best wishes to you

Great video Emma! Thank you very much! I’ve had some difficulty with this issue until now not anymore!

10/10 you are really a great teacher :)

Emma, you are very good.

The best part is the end when she shows a sentence in which the 2 are possible, but there is a difference in use.

THANKS FOR YOUR WORK

Many thanks for your great teaching!!

i scored 10 out of 10. thanks !

It seems like “by” is use in future sentences. right?

it is very helpful, thanks a lot, but i have an idea to overcome the confusing of the last example, which is, you can say (i will be in the restaurant until 8:00 pm), mean’s using (in) instead of (at), am I right ?

I like your lesson et thank so much

i very sorry teacher i can understand i have alittel confuse because why can use until and by both in the time

I have a question, You said I will fnish my essay by february. İn this sentences, can we use untill? I think yes we can. Let me explain But I am not sure. Please correct me If I make a mistake.

If we use Untill in this sentencese, Maybe we have started to write our essay january. So we are allowed to continue up to february. Because the essay is written at during period of time.What you think? This sentences seems to like your the other sentences I can use my parents’ car until oclock

Could you please tell me this story…)))) Thanks Mahmut

HI MY TEACHER. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ” UNTIL”. IN ARABIC WE HAVE THE SAME MEANING LIKE ” UNTIL” WHICH IS ” HATA” – HATA- IS THE PRONUNCIATION IN ARABIC. WE SAY IN ARABIC ” I ATE THE FISH UNTIL ITS HEAD” WHICH MEANS – I ATE THE FISH UNTIL ITS HEAD AND STOPPED – I DID NOT EAT THE HEAD OF THE FISH….JUST THE BODY AND THE TAIL……BUT IT HAS ANOTHER MEANING WHICH IS” I ATE THE FISH EVEN ITS HEAD …THAT IS TO SAY I ATE THE FISH WITH ITS HEAD……I MEAN ALL THE FISH- THE TAIL , THE BODY AND THE HEAD. MY QUESTION IS ” IS THEIR A MEANING IN ENGLISH JUST LIKE THE ARABIC MEANING?”. THANKS AND BLESS YOU.

BLESS YOU REALLY. I LIKE YOUR SMILE AND YOUR WAY OF TEACHING.

Hi Emma, Thank you very much for the lesson, from today I have some confidence in using these prepositions

At the first question in your video (not the quiz): why can’t it be both? Following your explanation “I will stay at the party by midnight.” sounds correct. If it isn’t, why not?

Hi My Teacher Emma Firstly,I couldn’t understand the difference between by and until.Then I watched your video.And I began to understand it.I am so thankful for you.

thank you. i like the way you explain rules to us.

Please give us a new lesson ,house or home?

thank you emma >> you are the best teacher :D i got 9 out of 10 :( but i hope get 10 out of 10 at the next time :)

i got 10/10 that’s great :) thanks EngVid

I like this site. it is already useful.

Thanks miss Emma

I will watch all your videos until I could remember them by heart. Thanks

Dear Emma could you explain please the difference beetwen be and stay? I mean which one is more commonly used? can I say “I will be at the party by/until midnigth”?

And one more thing i wanted to say, you are looking damn beautiful in this video.

Hi Emma, I got 10 correct out of 10.:D Can you give me some quiz at Email; [email protected] , thanks you so much

You can also use “not until” like ; It was “not until” less than 200 years ago that women were able to vote . Ditto , “It was until less than 200 years ago that women weren’t able to vote” those have same meanings , meanwhile nice lesson :)

Hi Emma, great class. I have a question. In the exercises at the end, why I can’t use “by” in the first case as in the fourth? What about is I am really bored at the party and I leave at 8:00 if I have the opportunity. I mean something like “I will go to the party but I don’t like that kind of places so, I will stay there but midnight is my limit”.

BTW, ideas for new classes: (Sort of/Kind of) and (Like / as). xD

Thank you very much.

Thanks! We already have a lesson on sort of/kind of , but I will put “like/as” on the list!

thank you these lessonce very useful and nice.

Thank you Emma. This lesson helps me understand the timing of using the two prepositions :)

Would you also teach how to use “of” properly? This has already confused me for a long time.

Hi emma thank you for your lesson by way i am confused about using preposition (on,by, with) like this exemple: we don’t need a car,we’ll go …. foot which preposition should i put in

thank you Emma for the wonderful lesson and explain.. and I thank my friend because he taught me this site.

Have a nice day! Thanks for teaching.

Hi Emma You r so nice Until and by was so confusing for me before. But not now.

Hi, Emma, somebody asked you a question about rain will stop.His question is not available. because nature, which you cannot say accurate, when will rain stop or start.therefor you can use both . is it correct or fail . I have also doubt.

Hi Emma This lesson is really wonderful , if could give us a lesson on ‘won’t & doesn’t would be great.

Thanks, Srini

Hi,Thank you so much…. That was very useful….

Could you please help me, how to use IS and ARE.

Question: minute 7, ‘By the summer’ means by the end of summer or before summer? She said before summer but I heard it means by the end of summer! (Actually this is a question regarding the same sentence written on canadian Immigration website: “These files will be finalized by summer 2013”, and somewhere else says: “These files will be finalized by the END of summer 2013”. These two sentences refer to the same files!!!

Yeah！I got 8 correct out of 10，I have progressed，Thank you for Emma

Which sentence is correct? I need 3 Cars tonight by 6:45pm or I need 3 Cars by 6:45pm tonight

wow; I got 10/10

hi Emma, I got a question. As you were teaching by the time at the second sentence you used ‘the thief WAS GONE … ‘ Is ıt right or..? and by the way thank you so much. you’re such a great teacher.

Hello Ma’am, I have a question which confuses me since long time, it is exactly about the “by” and “until”. Example: I will arrive at the party _____ 9 p.m If I use in the space “by” as you said means that I’ll arrive at the party either before 9 p.m or exact on 9 p.m. so, what if I use “until”, could I use “until” instead of “by”? Thank you.

Thanks!! good lesson!

mam i love you,,,,…you are mine favourite teacher….

Ow! I have not known the difference before. I think it is a very useful lesson, moreover the quiz is as handy as the lesson. Thx teacher Emma.

thanks Emma… could you explain the differences between “by and for” to me?

hi miss.. -we had to stay in the exam room until the end of the exam-… that is one of your example, is that really correct sentence? you used had in the situation, then the verb is present tense “stay”… i think it should be “stayed”… am i right?

Hi Teacher Emma. Thanks for your lesson. How to use ” by + gerund” ? It always makes me confused. Could you please inform me about that? Thank you so much, teacher. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you Emma. Always 10 points for you!!

Thanks Emma! You’re a great teacher.

Thank you a lot, Emma

hi Emma I am glad to study with you Thank you for your teaching

I thought the correct tense in the sentence ‘I studied until 7 p.m.’ was Present Perfect: I have studied until 7 p.m. Am I wrong?

By the way, the quiz is so easy…

Woooooooooooow 100%

Hi, thank you Emma for these lessons. I have one question: can not we use both (by and until) in the 3th sentence, like in the 4th sentence? I mean in the video. Thank you for your attention!

Thank you so mush for this great lesson and great explanation

Why don’t we say “The thief had gone by the time I called polic”? Thanks

Hi, Emma. I have a question: till and until, I can use anyone of them in any sentence.All your examples I can replace “till” allowance ” until” , for example, I listen this song” It’s not goodbye” there is a sentence ” till I see you again”, I can replace this sentence like this” until I see you again”. is this correct?, thank you Emma , wonderful lesson, great work, and , is this example is correct 1- the Rebecca and Ronnie were the best teachers in the engvid until Emma, I mean , they were the best teachers and now , you are the number one ” the best”. thank you again Emma.

100%, Thanks,I think is very useful for me.

Nice lesson

Great lesson:Emma i listened to your introduction and i want to know what is correct? “Today we are going to look at WHAT ARE THESE DIFFERENCES” (you said this) OR “TODAY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT THESE DIFFERENCES ARE.” ( i thought this is correct)

Hi, This is very good site for learning new things in englis.thank you Emma

It’s very helpful. Your explanation is very clearly.Thanks:)

Thanks for the lesson!

bonjour Emma , je suis fier de votre site engVid, seulement je voudrais vous poser un e question pédagogique:comment suivre vos cours?pour chaque niveau il y-a plusieurs professeurs et plusieurs thèmes? je veux un conseil pédagogique pour aller du bigenner à advanced, thank you for your answer , by

Emma you are very nice and a very good teacher. It’s easier to learn :)

thank you, it’s helpful

thank you!!!

please what mean by the way !!! and when we use it??

sorry, i have understand my previous question and i want to know now, does the verb after “by the time ” always in the past ???

thanks you for the perfect explanation. It’s always great, you clear up all the doubts! I have a small request for your future lessons: could you please, also explain the difference between within and during? also, could you give a lesson on the usage of some verbs like marry – get married or marry/ get engaged or engage? thanks.

well,I have to admit this site is pretty awesome .Just signed up today ,and yeah …is going well ..i was looking for a long time to learn english better.I also have to learn German,but when you don’t have a passion for that ,it goes pretty slow.Anyway ,keep up the good work guys ,you’re doing a fine job :)

Thank you Emma! Your class is very nice!

Thanks Emma. very nice way of teaching

Thanks Ms Emma, very polite style of delivering lesson but very bad I got only 60%.

I got 90% thank you very much. :D

hello……emma, could you please explain to me difference between by and within?

Thanks! Your way’s very clearly!

Hi, Emma! Thank you for your lessons, it’s very helpful. I have a question about Sequence of Tenses when we use “by”. Let’s look at your example of using “by”: “The subway was closed by the time I left work”. Does it mean the same as “When I left work, subway had been already closed” or “Subway had been closed before I left work”. To my mind we should use Past Perfect and Simple Past in this sentence, shouldn’t we? I look forward to your reply. =)

Hi, I got 80% and I am very happy now because I didn’t understand this before. But now I understand. Thank you! Andi

thanks emma,i understand your lesson

hi emma, its very good but i have one question, why use “by” in the position of “before”

Thank you Teacher Emma, …

Thanks Emma! I am a beginner of writing essays for toefl. I would appreciate you if you would make a lesson for it … I can see many lessons here ,however, I think there is no brainstorming【(I am not sure whether the word brainstorming is correct or not….):to think what to write about, before you start writing your essay. 】classes. I am not goot at getting the idea of what the topic says. I always get confused what to think about when i see the topic. It may be difficut for you to make a lesson about it because I understand that everyone has diffrent ways of thinking …. You are a great teacher. Your explanation is easy to understand. P.S.sorry for my English …

Great lesson Emma! I got it. 100% score correct of the Quiz!

He is on leave until Saturday. a)It means he will join office on Saturday b)It means he will join office on Friday.

Please clear my doubt.

He is on leave until Saturday. a)It means he will join office on Saturday b)It means he will join office on Monday.

Thanks Emma. I’m learning a lot with your videos. Thanks.

if we had to choose between until and by i think the future time with will, will help us to know that we must use by is this right

It´s a pleasure to learn from you. Tanks Emma

Thanks Emma for this nice and complicated lesson.

thank you! so nice lesson .

Hello Teacher,

I have question ,here that.

I will finish my essay by 4 pm i will finsh my essat ay 4 pm.. which sentense is correct????

another question.

i will come to restaurant at 4 pm i will come to restaurant by 4 pm??

which sentence is correct???

Neither. It should be “I will come to the restaurant”. Both “at” and “by” are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. “ At 4 p. m.” is more exact. “I will come there by 4 p. m.” = I might come earlier.

I got six out of ten :(. I thing I mitgh not undertood this lesson very well. I will try it again

Thank you for the great lesson. I got 8 out of 10, can I try again perhaps tomorrow or in a few days ?

I got 10 correct out of 10

Thanks for the lesson.It is very helpful.I got 10 correct)

well I think these are good examples about until, by and by the time i guess the is a wrong sentence in the examples, my goal is to lose five pounds…..may, i wrote until it was not correct according to the system but I think our goal will not be sure to be achieved when we plan a goal it does not sure we are going to achieve it so it sometimes does not depend on me.the rest of sentences I agree with them…

I am going to rent a car by may. I am going to charge my credit card by tomorrow. I will be taking the car rent by 2 p.m. I read a book until 11 p.m. the contest will be celebrated until may. I took the car to the mechanic i left by the time you paid the credit card

Hi, please, makes sense I fill with “while” instead of “by the time”? 7. My friend left while I got home.

My job starts at 8:30a.m.so I must be there by 8:30a.m. I work until 5:30p.m. then I drive home.

Thank you Emma!

Dear Emma, we have learnt till for possitive and until for negative. We will wait for him until he comes. How is it ? otherwise we will wait for him till he comes.

9/10. Thank you Emma.

Olá Emma, tenho uma pergunta… e a palavra EVEN, também quer dizer até?

Thaks Emma for your useful lesson.

Shouldn’t question #7 be: 7. My friend _HAD_ left ______ I got home.

It seems to me that the Past Perfect should be the correct way to write this sentence.

Thank you. 10/10

5/10 best regards Emma (Kazakhstan 18oct2021) the lesson is not an easy one

Thanks. teacher, I love your classes. :))

Thanks for your wonderful lessons. My doubt is on question no. 4. Assuming that this question does not include the last phrase “After Tuesday, the rain will stop”, we can use either “until” or “by” right? If the speaker emphasis that we can expect rain on or before Tuesday, he should use “by” or if it’s already raining or the weather condition signals it’s going to rain heavily, he should use “until”. Please let me know.

BTW, I’ve got 10/10 on this quiz, but I spent 10 seconds only for this question.

Thanks Emma, great explanations. I got 10 correct out of 10, I didn’t expect that as the lesson wasn’t easy.

Thanks a lot, Emma. Your lessons are really helpful for me! :)

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, how to do homework: 15 expert tips and tricks.

Coursework/GPA

Everyone struggles with homework sometimes, but if getting your homework done has become a chronic issue for you, then you may need a little extra help. That’s why we’ve written this article all about how to do homework. Once you’re finished reading it, you’ll know how to do homework (and have tons of new ways to motivate yourself to do homework)!

We’ve broken this article down into a few major sections. You’ll find:

• A diagnostic test to help you figure out why you’re struggling with homework
• A discussion of the four major homework problems students face, along with expert tips for addressing them
• A bonus section with tips for how to do homework fast

By the end of this article, you’ll be prepared to tackle whatever homework assignments your teachers throw at you .

So let’s get started!

How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles 

Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time. 

The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. That’s why we’ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where you’re struggling. 

Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers! 

1. You’ve just been assigned an essay in your English class that’s due at the end of the week. What’s the first thing you do?

A. Keep it in mind, even though you won’t start it until the day before it’s due  B. Open up your planner. You’ve got to figure out when you’ll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sister’s dance recital this week, too.  C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one!  D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project that’s due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now. 

2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. You’ve just gotten home from school. You decide you’ll tackle your chores: 

A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start?  B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store.  C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work.  D. You won’t get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time! 

3. You’ve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You: 

A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter.  B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot you’d already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrow’s bake sale.  C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. You’re passionate about animals, so you’re excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldn’t help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!

4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide you’re going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You: 

A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means you’re not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home!  B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember you’re supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you!  C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though you’ve got SAT studying to do. It’s just more fun to watch people make scones.  D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because you’re reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.

5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because you’ve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you what’s wrong, you say: 

A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work.  B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks.  C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just can’t seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home.  D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadn’t gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in. 

Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Here’s how your answers break down: 

• If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination. 
• If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management. 
• If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation. 
• If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted. 

Now that you’ve identified why you’re having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it. 

And one more thing: you’re really struggling with homework, it’s a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating. 

How to Do Homework When You’re a Procrastinator  

Merriam Webster defines “procrastinate” as “to put off intentionally and habitually.” In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, you’ve experienced the effects of procrastination. 

If you’re a chronic procrastinator, you’re in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+. 

Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too! 

The big thing to understand about procrastination is that it’s not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being “disinclined to activity or exertion.” In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators don’t put things off because they don’t want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they don’t want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as it’s not their homework! 

3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination 

Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time. 

#1: Create a Reward System

Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isn’t enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done. 

Here’s what we mean: let’s say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day it’s due, you’ll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, you’ll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust. 

If you’re not into cupcakes, don’t worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe it’s hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as you’re choosing something that makes homework worth doing, you’ll be successful. 

#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner 

If you’re having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that you’re trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if they’d be willing to text you to make sure you’re doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if you’re meeting your anti-procrastination goals. 

Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, let’s say you’re tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before it’s due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you don’t want to fess up that you haven’t started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track. 

#3: Create Your Own Due Dates 

If you’re a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just can’t seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due. 

Here’s what we mean. Let’s say you have a math worksheet that’s been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the “last minute” is a day before the assignment’s real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead! 

If you feel like Kevin Hart in this meme, then our tips for doing homework when you're busy are for you. 

How to Do Homework When You’re too Busy

If you’re aiming to go to a top-tier college , you’re going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, it’s important that you’re maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix. 

If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions at once, you’re not alone. Recent research has found that stress—and more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression— are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students’ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them. 

For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible. 

3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule

While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure you’re able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students. 

#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List 

You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away. 

Here’s how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, it’s time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Here’s what those labels mean:

• A Tasks : tasks that have to get done—like showing up at work or turning in an assignment—get an A. 
• B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but aren’t as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. It’s still important, but it doesn’t have to be done right away.
• C Tasks: these are tasks that aren’t very important and/or have no real consequences if you don’t get them done immediately. For instance, if you’re hoping to clean out your closet but it’s not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.

Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that you’re spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), you’ll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important. 

#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels

Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if you’re not using a planner, it’s time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If you’re using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.

A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day. 

Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . We’re big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ). 

#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone 

If you need a little extra nudge to make sure you’re getting your homework done on time, it’s a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You don’t need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if you’ve decided you’re doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work. 

If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when it’s time to get started. 

This dog isn't judging your lack of motivation...but your teacher might. Keep reading for tips to help you motivate yourself to do your homework.

How to Do Homework When You’re Unmotivated 

At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute. 

But there’s one key difference: many procrastinators are working, they’re just prioritizing work differently. They know they’re going to start their homework...they’re just going to do it later. 

Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just can’t find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know they’ll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they don’t want to do in the first place. 

Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework : 

• Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless 
• Students aren’t interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
• Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they don’t understand the assignment 
• Homework isn’t fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy 

To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.

3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework

The key to getting homework done when you’re unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework. 

#1: Use Incremental Incentives

When you’re not motivated, it’s important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe you’re reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure you’re choosing a reward that works for you! 

So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !  

#2: Form a Homework Group 

If you’re having trouble motivating yourself, it’s okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You don’t have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjects— the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments. 

Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if you’re struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too. 

#3: Change Up Your Environment 

If you find that you’re totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if you’ve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done. 

If you’re stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe you’ve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new “homework spot” in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done. 

Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.

How to Do Homework When You’re Easily Distracted

We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like there’s always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.

The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average person’s attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once we’ve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done! 

3 Tips to Improve Your Focus

If you have a hard time focusing when you’re doing your homework, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done. 

#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Pick a place where you’ll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there won’t be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while you’re doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work. 

You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If that’s the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when you’ll be working on homework every day, and ask them if they’ll help you keep a quiet environment. They’ll be happy to lend a hand! 

#2: Limit Your Access to Technology 

We know, we know...this tip isn’t fun, but it does work. For homework that doesn’t require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, it’s best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, that’s fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so you’re not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework. 

If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But it’s not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while you’re working so that you’re not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and don’t open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you don’t need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure you’re getting your homework done. 

#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)

Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? It’s a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!

Here’s how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, it’s called a “pomodoro.” For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once you’ve done that, you’re rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long you’re really working on your homework. (Once you start using our focus tips, you may find it doesn’t take as long as you thought!)

Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast

Even if you’re doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)

The problem with speeding through homework is that it’s easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that you’re not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment! 

Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when you’re in a time crunch. 

#1: Do the Easy Parts First 

This is especially true if you’re working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are “easy” to answer . 

Once you’ve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade. 

(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !) 

#2: Pay Attention in Class 

Homework gets a lot easier when you’re actively learning the material. Teachers aren’t giving you homework because they’re mean or trying to ruin your weekend... it’s because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what you’re already learning in class so you’ll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.

When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, you’re absorbing the information you’ll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (You’re stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.

What’s Next?

If you’re looking to improve your productivity beyond homework, a good place to begin is with time management. After all, we only have so much time in a day...so it’s important to get the most out of it! To get you started, check out this list of the 12 best time management techniques that you can start using today.

As an example, the following are the steps to determine the number of hours and minutes between two chosen times within the same day : First, identify the starting and an ending time. The goal is to subtract the starting time from the ending time under the correct conditions. If the times are not already in 24-hour time, convert them to 24-hour time. AM hours are the same in both 12-hour and 24-hour time. For PM hours, add 12 to the number to convert it to 24-hour time.

While studying can differ for different age groups, many of the things that get in the way are the same. Whether it's your environment or time management skills, it easy for things to discourage you from finishing your homework. With a little organization and help, your homework can become approachable. Managing Your Time For instance, try setting aside a time you know you can work well such as an hour or 2 before dinner, or if you're a night owl, after dinner. Work in hour blocks, with 50 minutes spent studying and 10 minutes spent taking a break. It can also be helpful to move around when you are taking your break, especially if you are working at a screen. Go for a walk outside to get your blood circulating and enjoy some fresh air. You might also want to eat a healthy snack on your break to improve your focus. Avoid junk food and choose something like a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, veggies, or a small portion of cottage cheese. Identify which assignments are worth the most points for each class. Most likely these will take the longest to complete. [5] X Research source Consider how long you have to do each project, and if possible, see when the assignment is introduced. Oftentimes, primary and secondary school classes do not have syllabi, so it might be harder to plan out an entire term, but if you are in college, you will most likely have a syllabus with at least a partial course schedule. Knowing how long you have to complete an assignment will help you prioritize which assignments to do first. You can also ask the teacher how long you have to complete an assignment. [6] X Research source Use highlighters or stickers to mark which assignments are most important. If you're using an online or mobile schedule, create alerts or notifications for the projects and any time-sensitive steps for those projects. Don't let a big project overshadow the smaller assignments you need to complete! Assignment outlines can help you visualize the necessary tasks to get the assignment done. Creating a Productive Work Environment A desk or table would be a better location than a couch or a bed. Turn your phone off or on silent (not vibrate). It might be best to put the phone out of sight, or in another room while you work, as the temptation to text or get on social media can be as much of a distraction as actually using social media. Use an app that blocks social media. There are plenty of applications out there that can help block social media and other distracting sites (such as shopping or gaming sites). [10] X Trustworthy Source Pew Research Center Nonpartisan thinktank conducting research and providing information on public opinion, demographic trends, and social trends Go to source Use a white noise app to block out noise. Use earplugs or noise-blocking earmuffs. [12] X Research source Work in a quiet place, such as a library or a home office, if you have one. Avoid listening to music while studying. Studies have shown that although listening to music while studying lowers overall performance, this does not affect everyone equally. [13] X Research source However listening to music before studying has been shown to improve performance on cognitive tasks. [14] X Research source Using Your Resources If you're too afraid to ask a teacher during class, see if you can stay behind to ask your questions. First, contact your school to see if there are any after-school tutoring programs. While not all primary and secondary schools offer tutoring, a vast majority of universities do. If your school does not offer tutoring, they may know of other resources for you to contact. Then, contact your library to see if they offer any tutoring. [18] X Research source In some areas, there may also be free community tutoring programs. Contact your local community center for more information. There are plenty of private tutors out there as well, but they can be costly (ranging from $20 to $100 an hour). [19] X Research source You can find tutors online through a number of websites, such as Craigslist or Angie's list. If you need to work at a library after school, ask your parents or search the web to find your local library.

Mathematical concepts are quite technical and difficult to grasp. Math requires constant practice in order to sharpen your skill and grasp crucial concepts. That is why math homework is highly encouraged to make sure your child gets the practice needed. However, completing math homework is not an easy task especially if you have a short time to complete your homework, which I know is common these days with tons of school events, sports and other class assignments. In this article, we are going to discuss 5 simple steps that will help you finish your homework before 5pm! 1. Ensure that you have well-organized notes In most cases, math homework is usually given based on the topic the teacher has covered on that particular day. Therefore it’s very important to be attentive in class and take important notes on the topic that the teacher has covered. For instance, you need to ensure that you have taken notes on all formulas or theorems that the teacher has covered and make sure you highlight the formulas so you can easily identify them when going through tons of notes. You should also write down all the homework that the teacher has assigned in an organized manner. This will help you save a lot of time when you finally get home. You can also create a cheat sheet and use it to refer concepts that has been taught in class. 2. Do the assignment in one sitting This is one of the simple tricks that can often be overlooked. One of the best and most effective ways to complete your math homework by 5pm is by doing it in one sitting. Unlike other assignments, solving math homework requires a lot of concentration. If you opt to complete the assignment in bits, you will end up not completing it on time. Once you sit down and open that math book, don’t stop until you are finished! You can let your family know the specific time when you will retreat to focus on your homework so you aren’t disturbed. Before you start working on your math homework, ensure that you have all necessary resources. Also ensure that you have a proper working area with minimal distraction, and yes…This means no phone lol 3. Get help if necessary Math homework is not an exam. You therefore don’t need to suffer in silence if you need help. Don’t hesitate to ask for help from your classmates, your parent, your older siblings or even consider getting a tutor. You can also ask for help just to crosscheck if you have done your math homework correctly. Working with your classmates is incredibly beneficial because you may find out there was a shortcut or a simpler method to solving certain problems. We are all gifted differently and sharing ideas can really help to correct or confirm your answers. Remember that homework is not to test you but to sharpen your skills. 4. Read all questions before you start This is also an important trick that many students usually overlook especially if they are in a hurry to complete their homework. Before you start tackling your homework, it is important to first read all questions. Knowing what you are doing beforehand can really help to prevent careless errors. It can also help you develop a plan on how to tackle the easier problems before you get to some of the tougher ones. According to math experts, the best way to tackle math question is by first by categorizing the questions before you start. Once you have classified your assignment and identified simple and hard questions, start tackling the simple questions before you progress to those that are more complex and require more of your time. This way, you will complete your homework in a very efficient manner. 5. Start your homework immediately Waiting for a long period of time before you start working on your homework is not a good idea. By the time you sit down to work on your math assignment, you will feel tired and probably lazy. In addition to that, if you wait until the last minute, you may end up not doing your math homework well because you were forced to rush through the assignment. Therefore, if you want to complete your assignment fast and before 5pm, you need to start it as soon as you get home from school. This way, you will still be fresh and hence you will complete your homework fast. And plus…What student doesn’t wanna be fresh? (Ha! Joke.) 🙂 You Might Also Like Why Students Find Chemistry So Difficult? How To Improve Your English Comprehension Skills 3 Tips To Improve Your Child’s Reading, Fast!

An Artificial Intelligent English Learning Platform Future Perfect Tense: Examples, Definition, Use, Formula, Structure, Rules and Exercises for English Learners Introduction. Tense is an important aspect of the English language. It allows speakers to indicate when an event has occurred, is occurring, or will occur. For example, by using the past tense, speakers can signal that an event has already happened. This can be useful for indicating whether something is still happening or not. The present tense is used to indicate that an event is happening right now, while the future tense is used to indicate that an event will happen at some point in the future. By using these various tenses, speakers can communicate a great deal of information about differences in meaning. As a result, tense use is an essential part of effective communication in English. In this blog, we will explore the correct way to use the future tense – specifically with future perfect tense examples, definitions, and exercises. Keep reading to learn more about improving your communication skills. What is the Definition and Meaning of Future Perfect Tense? The future perfect tense is a verb tense used to describe an event that will have occurred or been completed by a certain point in the future. For example, “By six PM tonight, I will have finished my homework.” The future perfect tense is made up of two parts: the auxiliary verb “will” plus the past participle of the main verb. In the example sentence above, the main verb is “finish” and the past participle is “finished.” The auxiliary verb “will” indicates that the action of finishing homework will take place before six PM tonight. The future perfect tense can be used to describe both short-term and long-term events. It is often used in conjunction with other verb tenses, such as the present tense, to create a sense of anticipation or suspense. The future perfect tense can also be used to make predictions about the future. For example, “The sun will have set by the time we get home.” In this sentence, we are using the future perfect tense to predict that the sun will set before we arrive home. This usage is often seen in weather forecasts, where meteorologists use the future perfect tense to predict when a particular event will occur. For example, “The sun will have set by 6:00 PM tonight.” As you can see, the future perfect tense is a versatile verb tense that can be used in a variety of ways. By understanding how to use it correctly, you can add nuance and depth to your writing and speaking. How should English Learners best study and learn the proper usage of Future Perfect Tense Words? English learners often struggle with verb tenses, particularly the future perfect tense. This tense is used to describe a sequence of events that will be completed before a specific time in the future. For example, “I will have finished my homework by six o’clock.” To use the future perfect tense correctly, it is important to first understand the various aspects of the tense, including when to use it and how to conjugate verbs. Once this foundation is in place, there are a number of strategies that English learners can use to study and learn the proper usage of future perfect tense words. One effective way to learn the future perfect tense is to create a timeline of when certain actions will take place. For example, if someone is going to finish their homework at 6:00pm, they would draw a line on a piece of paper and label it 6:00pm. Then, they would write “finish homework” underneath 6:00pm. This strategy helps to visualize when actions need to be completed and makes it easier to remember how to conjugate verbs correctly. Another helpful strategy is to create practice sentences using irregular verbs. This will help English learners to see how the different forms of the verb change in the future perfect tense. For example, the sentence “I will have gone to the store” uses the irregular verb “gone.” By creating practice sentences with irregular verbs, English learners can better understand how these verbs function in the future perfect tense. Finally, English learners can also benefit from studying with a partner or group. This gives them an opportunity to practice using the future perfect tense in conversation and receive feedback from others. Additionally, studying with a group can make learning more enjoyable and motivating. By using these strategies, English learners can improve their ability to use the future perfect tense correctly. While mastering all aspects of grammar can be challenging, strategies like these can make the process easier and more enjoyable. Simple Future Tense I the salad. I this room. I the vegetables. Future Continuous Tense. I sitting here waiting. The family celebrating. He finishing his project. I the grapes. He the rest. She the role. Future Perfect Continuous Tense I to the Beatles for 30 years. My friend time with his girlfriend today. The baby a nap this afternoon. How Do You Use the Future Perfect Tense? The future perfect tense is used to describe an event that will happen before another event in the future. For example, “I will have finished my homework before you get home.” To form the future perfect tense, you use the present tense of “to have” plus the past participle of the verb. In this sentence, the past participle of “finish” is “finished.” The future perfect tense is most often used with a time expression such as “before.” It can also be used without a time expression to talk about events that are scheduled to happen in the future. For example, “The train arrives at 6:00 PM, so I will have arrived by then.” The future perfect tense is also used to make predictions based on present evidence. For example, “It’s going to rain soon; the ground is already wet.” In this sentence, the ground being wet is evidence that it has already rained or that it is about to rain. Here are a few more examples of sentences in the Future Perfect Tense: By this time next year, I will have finished my degree. By the end of the month, they will have completed the new library. We will have visited every continent by 2025. She will have retired by the time she turns 60. They will have saved enough money to buy a house by next year. I will have learned how to speak fluent French by the end of the year. We will have driven to all 50 states by the time we turn 50. He will have watched all of his favorite movies by next week. She will have read all of the books on her list by 2025. We will have gone on a trip to space by 2030. Structure of the Future Perfect Tense The future perfect tense is a verb tense used to describe actions that will be completed at a specific point in the future. The future perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verb “will” and the present participle of the main verb. For example, the sentence “I will have finished my homework by six o’clock” is in the future perfect tense. The future perfect tense can be used to describe both planned and expected events. You can also use the future perfect tense to describe an event that you are looking forward to, such as “I will have graduated from college by this time next year.” By understanding how to form and use the future perfect tense verbs, you can add precision and clarity to your writing. Below we have included the formula of future perfect tense: What is the Future Perfect Tense formula? [subject + will + have + past participle], what is the structure of the future perfect tense. [ + verb] [ + verb] [ + subject + + verb?] [ + subject + + verb?] I the police. You the police. He the police. She the police. They the police. I the police. You the police. She the police. They the police. the police? the police? the police? the police? the police?   the police? the police? the police? the police? the police?   What are Future Perfect Tense uses? The Future Perfect tense is used to express actions that will be completed before a certain time in the future. This can be used to describe plans, predictions, or schedules.

What are Common Mistakes English Students make when learning to use Future Perfect Verbs & Words? 1. One of the most common mistakes English students make when learning to use Future Perfect verbs is failing to use the correct verb tense. When referring to future events, it is important to use the present tense, as this indicates that the event has not yet occurred. For example, instead of saying “I will have finished my homework by six PM tonight”, you should say “I will finish my homework by six PM tonight”. 2. Another common mistake is using the wrong form of the verb. When using Future Perfect verbs, you need to ensure that you use the correct base form of the verb, as well as the correct auxiliary verb. For example, the sentence “I will have drank three cups of coffee by noon tomorrow” is incorrect, as the base verb “drink” should be in its past participle form “drunk”. The correct sentence would be “I will have drunk three cups of coffee by noon tomorrow”. 3. A third common mistake is misunderstanding when to use Future Perfect verbs. Many English students think that they can only be used to refer to future events, when in fact they can also be used to refer to past events that will have been completed by a specific point in the future. For example, the sentence “By next week, I will have read all of the Harry Potter books” correctly uses Future Perfect verbs to refer to a past event (reading the books) which will be completed at some point in the future (next week). 4. Another frequent error is forgetting to add the necessary words and phrases needed for forming Future Perfect sentences. In addition to using the correct verb forms, you also need to remember to include words such as “by” and “will have” in your sentences. For example, the sentence “I finished my homework six PM tonight” would be incorrect without the addition of these words, as it would simply be referring to a event that has already occurred (in the past). The correct sentence would be “I will have finished my homework by six PM tonight”. 5. Finally, many English students make the mistake of using Future Perfect verbs when there is no need to do so. In general, using simpler verb tenses such as “will finish” or “finished” are just as effective in communicating your meaning, and are often easier for others to understand. As such, there is no need to overcomplicate your sentences by unnecessarily adding extra verbs and auxiliaries. How Can Language Learners Avoid Making Common Mistakes? Here are five ways to avoid making common mistakes with future perfect verbs and words: 1. Pay attention to verb tense. When using future perfect verbs, be sure to use the correct tense. For example, if you’re describing an event that will happen in the future, you would use the present tense form of the verb (e.g., “I will have finished my work by 5pm”). 2. Pay attention to word order. When using future perfect verbs, be sure to put the verb before the subject (e.g., “By next week, I will have completed my project”). 3. Don’t use contractions. When using future perfect verbs, avoid using contractions (e.g., “I’ll have finished”). Instead, use the full form of the verb (e.g., “I will have finished”). 4. Use positive statements. When using future perfect verbs, make sure to use positive statements rather than negative ones (e.g., “I will have completed my work by 5pm” rather than “I won’t have finished my work until 5pm”). 5. Practice regularly. The best way to avoid making common mistakes with future perfect verbs is to practice regularly. Try reading or listening to material that uses these verbs frequently, and pay close attention to how they’re used. With time and practice, you’ll be able to use them correctly and confidently.

Common Verbs in the Future Perfect Tense The most common verbs used in the future perfect tense are “will have” and “shall have.” Other verbs that are often used in the future perfect tense include “can have,” “may have,” and “must have.” In order to form the future perfect tense, the verb “will” or “shall” must be followed by the main verb in its past participle form. For example, the regular verb “finish” becomes “finished” in its past participle form. As a result, the sentence “I will have finished my homework by six o’clock” would be written as “I shall have finished my homework by six o’clock.” Here are 14 common verbs that are conjugated in the Future Perfect Tense: Will have finished Will have started Will have stopped Will have continued Will have liked Will have wanted Will have needed Will have asked Will have given Will have taken Will have seen Will have heard Will have learned Here are some more examples of Future Perfect verbs in action: By the end of the year, everyone will have downloaded their favorite album onto their phones. In five years’ time, live music concerts will have been a thing of the past. Ten years from now, we will have been listening to music that is created by computers. In fifteen years, all the music in the world will have made history. Finally, in thirty years there we will have advanced in the music world. The future perfect tense is a vital part of the English language, allowing speakers to express actions that will be completed at a specific point in the future. While the future simple tense can also be used for this purpose, the future perfect tense provides a greater level of specificity. As you can see, the use of the future perfect tense can help to add clarity and precision to your speech or writing. Thanks for learning about this important linguistic tool! Frequently Asked Questions for Future Perfect Tense: Here are five future perfect examples referencing a plan or future period of time: • I will be going to the store tomorrow. • She will be singing at the concert tonight. • They will be having a party next weekend. • We will be seeing the new movie next Friday. • I will not be coming to your house tonight. Future tense indicates an action that has not yet occurred and will occur at some point in the future. There are several ways to form the future tense, including using the tense verbs “will” or “shall,” as well as using the present tense of certain verbs, such as “going.” For example, “I will call you tomorrow” and “I am going to call you tomorrow” both indicate that the speaker intends to call the person tomorrow. In addition, there are a few irregular verbs that have special forms in the future tense, such as “will know” and “shall have.” The future tense is often used when making plans or predicting what will happen, as in “I think it will rain tomorrow.” It can also be used to express certainty, as in “The sun will rise at 6:00am tomorrow.” For the future tense, there are four main types of verb tenses: future simple, future continuous, future perfect, and future perfect continuous. Future simple tense is used to describe an action that will happen once and is not currently happening. For example, “I will call you tomorrow.” Future continuous tense is used to describe an action that will be happening at a specific time in the future. For example, “I will be meeting with my boss at 3pm.” The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will have been completed by a specific time in the future. For example, “The project will be finished by next week.” Future perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that will have been happening for a certain amount of time by a specific time in the future. For example, “I will have been working on this project for two weeks by the time it’s due.” Each of these tenses has a specific purpose and can be used to communicate different information about the future. There are four main types of tenses in English: past, present, future, and perfect. Each one expresses a different version of events. The past tense is used to describe events that have already happened. For example, “I went to the store.” The present tense is used to describe events that are happening now or always happening. For example, “I am going to the store.” Future perfect tense rules are used to describe events that will happen in the future. For example, “I will go to the store.” And the perfect tense is used to describe events that have already happened or been completed. For example, “I have gone to the store.” There are also a few other less common tenses, but these four are the most important and most commonly used. Tenses can be simple (just one word), progressive (a form of “to be” plus a present participle), or perfect (a form of “to have” plus a past participle). Each type has its own specific use and function. Here are 10 future perfect tense sentences: -By next week, I will have finished writing my novel. (scheduled event) -I will have left for work by the time you wake up. (future before past) -By six PM tonight, they will have completed their project. -We will have cleaned the entire house by noon tomorrow. -The baby will have taken her first steps by her first birthday. -She will have eaten dinner by the time her husband gets home from work. -They will have gone to bed before midnight. -I will have flown to New York by this time next week.

[duplicate] Which one of the sentences below is correct? Please be ready by 5:00pm. Please be ready at 5:00pm. Please be ready on 5:00pm. I'm really confused about this. Can anyone explain all the sentences above please? prepositions 2 Answers 2 I will rather ask: Which one of the sentences below is not correct ? Unlike the very last one, the first and second ones (Please be ready by 5:00pm. and Please be ready at 5:00pm.) are both correct. Take a look at the examples below: She said to me: please be ready by 5:00pm. In the sentence above, by 5:00pm connotes latest by , meaning: before 5:00pm . She said to me: please be ready at 5:00pm. Here, at 5:00pm translates into being ready at that very point in time, either: exactly 5:00pm . She said to me: please be ready on 5:00pm. In the last instance above, the sentence is grammatically wrong because the use of the preposition on is not appropriate. In general, the preposition on is often used for places and or locations. There is really no definite rule nor formula for choosing a preposition and this can be a tremendous challenge for English language learners. Usually we use at with: Clock times: "at 5:00 pm" Mealtimes: "at breakfast" We use in with: Seasons of the Year Part of the day We use on with: We use by to express the end point of one activity If you say be ready by 5:00 pm, it is the end time, not later than 5:00 pm. Be ready at 5:00 pm is the correct expression (clock times). Be ready on 5:00 pm is not correct: no days, nor dates after on. English-Club Prepositions of Time Not the answer you're looking for?

Simple Past vs. Present Perfect: “was” vs. “has been” 3. Past simple vs present perfect –  Mari-Lou A Commented Sep 22, 2015 at 9:38 Neither is right or wrong. That is not the distinction which the present perfect captures. I have finished my homework. is stating that the event in the past has some present relevance . Sometimes the present relevance is that it is very recent (your picture 2); but other times it will have a different significance. For example, Do you want to go out? No, I've got my homework to do. That's a pity: I've finished my homework, and I want to do something. doesn't necessarily mean that I have just now finished my homework: I might have, but it might be that I finished it this morning. The present relevance is that now I am in a state of having-finished-my-homework, whereas you are not in that state. In fact the significance of aspect (in English, perfect vs. past, or continuous vs. not continuous) is often not in the events described, but in the way you are, at that moment, choosing to talk about the events. I've been looking at the OP's timeline graph and it's not that bad really. But I'd say that neither one of them is right or wrong.

It took me all night. I tried to make sure I got everything right. I read every chapter the teacher assigned. My eyes grew so bleary I nearly went blind. I studied each problem until my eyes burned. Researched each detail, leaving no stone unturned. I finished my reading and got out my pen and pulled up a chair at my desk in the den. I answered each question. I checked every one. I wrote out my essays. At last I was done. By eight in the morning I’d run out of fuel. I packed up my backpack and headed to school. I handed the teacher my homework, and then I noticed, embarrassed, I’d used the wrong pen. The teacher looked puzzled. I felt my heart sink. I’d used my trick pen with invisible ink.  — Kenn Nesbitt Copyright © 2005. All Rights Reserved.

My book When the Teacher Isn’t Looking contains about 50 poems about all the silly things that happen at school, including Homework, I Love You , My Dog Does My Homework , My Computer Ate My Homework , and this one. Of course, it’s not likely you have so much homework that you have to stay up all night to do it. So, this poem is a bit of an exaggeration. But, even though you probably never get as much homework as the kid in this poem, it may feel like it sometimes. You may not be able to change how much homework your teacher assigns, but what you can do is laugh at it. I hope this poem helps. Use This Poem Would you like to use this poem in your classroom?

How many times have you found yourself still staring at your textbook around midnight (or later!) even when you started your homework hours earlier? Those lost hours could be explained by Parkinson’s Law, which states, “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself all night to memorize those geometry formulas for your quiz tomorrow, you’ll inevitably find that a 30 minute task has somehow filled your entire evening. We know that you have more homework than ever. But even with lots and lots to do, a few tweaks to your study routine could help you spend less time getting more accomplished. Here are 8 steps to make Parkinson’s Law work to your advantage: 1. Make a list This should be a list of everything that has to be done that evening. And we mean, everything—from re-reading notes from this morning’s history class to quizzing yourself on Spanish vocabulary. 2. Estimate the time needed for each item on your list You can be a little ruthless here. However long you think a task will take, try shaving off 5 or 10 minutes. But, be realistic. You won’t magically become a speed reader. Free SAT Practice Tests & Events Evaluate and improve your SAT score. 3. Gather all your gear Collect EVERYTHING you will need for the homework you are working on (like your laptop for writing assignments and pencils for problem sets). Getting up for supplies takes you off course and makes it that much harder to get back to your homework. The constant blings and beeps from your devices can make it impossible to focus on what you are working on. Switch off or silence your phones and tablets, or leave them in another room until it’s time to take a tech break. Read More: How to Calculate Your GPA 5. Time yourself Noting how much time something actually takes will help you estimate better and plan your next study session. 6. Stay on task If you’re fact checking online, it can be so easy to surf on over to a completely unrelated site. A better strategy is to note what information you need to find online, and do it all at once at the end of the study session. 7. Take plenty of breaks Most of us need a break between subjects or to break up long stretches of studying. Active breaks are a great way to keep your energy up. Tech breaks can be an awesome way to combat the fear of missing out that might strike while you are buried in your work, but they also tend to stretch much longer than originally intended. Stick to a break schedule of 10 minutes or so. 8. Reward yourself!  Finish early? If you had allocated 30 minutes for reading a biology chapter and it only took 20, you can apply those extra 10 minutes to a short break—or just move on to your next task. If you stay on track, you might breeze through your work quickly enough to catch up on some Netflix. Our best piece of advice? Keep at it. The more you use this system, the easier it will become. You’ll be surprised by how much time you can shave off homework just by focusing and committing to a distraction-free study plan. Stuck on homework?

The 4 Best Lessons I Learned When I Made Myself Leave Work at 5 PM Every Day In previous jobs I’ve held, I was conditioned to think that leaving right at 5 PM was a thing of the past. It just wasn’t something people did anymore, so I stayed later, even on days when I’d finished my work and was only running out the clock. But then I started working at my current day job and noticed plenty of people leave at (or around) that time on a regular basis. As foreign as it felt to me, I wanted to try it—just for a week, just to see if I could actually do it without getting behind. So I did, and here’s what I learned: 1. I Needed to Be Intentional About Leaving Work at 5 PM After working late for the majority of my entire career, it quickly became apparent that unless I made it a point to leave at 5 PM on the dot, nobody would do it for me. Nobody would come to my desk and say, “Rich, close your laptop. It’s time to go home now!” So, that meant I’d have to force myself to make it happen. For starters, I added a recurring block of time to my calendar every day at 5 PM, which I called “Go home because you can.” Not only did I have that alert on my calendar, I had a handful of other notifications set up that went off right at 5 PM and more or less made me feel like staying any later would mean I was breaking the rules. Since it’s nobody else’s job to tell you to get out, you have to take matters into your own hands; whether that’s a Google calendar alert, a sticky note on your monitor, or even asking a friend to text you at 4:45 PM that it’s time to start wrapping up. Be creative and find something that works for you. 2. I Had to Get More Done During the Day When I finally got used to the idea that I’d leave my desk at 5 PM, I looked at my calendar and thought, “Wow, that is not a lot of time to get everything done.” I quickly realized that I needed to maximize the time that I would be in the office. That meant taking fewer coffee breaks, cutting a couple of casual conversations short, and focusing harder on getting my work done. This extra push was a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be, but when leaving time did roll around, I left work feeling pretty good about how productive I’d been in less time than usual. If you currently have trouble focusing during the day for long periods of time, consider trying out a few different strategies, such as Pomodoro Technique or finding your golden hours . 3. I Enjoyed My Additional Free Time More Than I Thought I Would It’s easy to think that you’re doing just fine, even if you’re staying at work late on a regular basis. You might not be tired, you might even love your work , but when you give yourself the flexibility to leave your desk on time when you’re able to, you’ll realize how nice it is to have an another hour or two each evening for yourself. The additional time allowed me to spend more time catching up with my wife after work (instead of immediately plopping myself down on the couch and binge-watching an awful reality show). And because I had more of this quality time with my wife, I felt way less guilty about training for an upcoming half marathon on the weekends. And on a couple occasions, I was even able to catch up on one of my favorite, if not nerdy, pastimes: browsing the stacks at my local comic book store. 4. I Realized the World Won’t Come Crashing Down if I Leave Something for Tomorrow Here’s a lesson that’s hard to learn until you start leaving your desk at the same time every night. While I didn’t purposely miss deadlines because I needed to leave at 5 PM, I did take a harder look at my to-do list. And I realized I have an awful habit of obsessing over getting to “ inbox zero .” The problem with doing this, especially near the end of the day, is that you’ll never get there. There will always be more messages coming in—but few, if any, that require my immediate response. In fact, a lot of the emails I read late at night literally said, “This can wait until the morning.” The truth is that few things are as urgent as we make them. I’m not saying to put off everything until tomorrow, but know when you’re just getting ahead for the sheer sake of getting ahead. Leaving work at 5 PM is admittedly very strange to me. So strange, in fact, that after leaving at that time every day for a week, I fell back into some old habits. Sure, sometimes it was necessary to stay a little later to meet a deadline, but other times I’d get caught up in tasks or conversations that really could have waited until the following morning. And even though I’m not perfect at leaving on the earlier side, walking out the door at the same time every day for an entire week has made me think more closely about how long I spend sitting at my desk. And the fact I’m more aware of that in general is as good of a start as I could really could ask for. i finish my homework at 17:00 (5PM) は 日本語 で何と言いますか？ 質問を翻訳 この回答は役に立ちましたか？ うーんと思った理由は？ このフィードバックは回答者には伝わりません。 無料でネイティブスピーカーに質問することができます アプリなら、もっと手軽に疑問が解決！ 4,500万件の回答から答えが見つかる 回答の検索と同時に自動翻訳もできる i finish my homework at... 249 COMMENTS 8 Easy Ways to Finish Homework Faster Evaluate and improve your SAT score. 3.
