Using in time / on time / just in time
- Practiced differences between 'in time' and 'on time' with examples
- Used 'just in time' in sentences about trains, flights, and meetings
Timing and 'in time' vs 'on time'
In this lesson you practiced using time expressions (in time, on time, just in time, at the end) and recounting short events. The tutor corrected word choice, pronunciation, and small grammar issues while you practiced example sentences and short dialogues.
Use “on time” for punctuality, “in time” for being early enough, “at the end” for the final point of something, and “in the end” for the final result. Ejemplos

Homework__on_time__in_time__at_the_end__in_the_end.pdf y las diapositivas Time_Expressions_A2.pdf.artifacts/source-original/ y artifacts/source-manifest.json, dentro del archivo privado.Se revisaron visualmente las 17 páginas de las diapositivas y las 4 páginas de la tarea agregadas al cerrar la ventana de la clase. El formulario existente ya coincide con los 29 ejercicios de las secciones A–D (12, 6, 6 y 5); no requiere cambios ni una segunda copia. La tarea pide elegir expresiones, reformular, corregir y escribir cinco oraciones propias. Las diapositivas quedan como PDF de apoyo, con práctica oral por parejas; no se convierten en otro formulario. La revisión no demuestra que Celeste haya completado esos ejercicios.
La paginación impresa 4/5 de las diapositivas está invertida respecto del orden físico del PDF. En la página física 5, el ejercicio del autobús dice que llegó tarde pero pide compararlo con el horario: es contradictorio. Las frases con plazos o fiestas pueden admitir on time o in time según si se destaca el horario o el tiempo suficiente; la clave no determina por sí sola la única respuesta natural. Las seis tarjetas existentes ya cubren los patrones relevantes y se conservan sin copiar ejercicios del PDF ni sumar duplicados. El nivel configurado es A1; el repaso usa explicaciones breves aunque el material esté rotulado A2.
