+Ngọc Hồ "All the way" means completely. For example, Julia made it all the way to the end of the marathon. This means she finished it completely.

Your schools have semesters, which I was led to believe were year long time frames and begun at the start of a new grade. I now see that is not the case and that a semester is broke up into two periods that consist of roughly eighteen weeks or up to half a year.

From Monday to Friday (including Friday or not(Mon, Thu, Wen, Thu))?
from ages 8 to 12 (includig 8-12 or not (8-11))?

I use until and after, and sometimes past but not to, like eleven after/until the seventeenth hour, or eleven after/until five or the seventeenth, I don't use to, and past rarely. Have I been pronuncing formal verbal time improperly.

hallo jenifer . I am so interested in learning with you . I am from indonesia . but i have a question. about when we use till and until.

[madihafatima]

Saturday will be on from 7th of November till the end of November.
is it correct???please if any mistake tell me the correct structure

[rozhinarazavian]

Hello, I googled the difference between till and until and it was the outcome. Until is usually perceived as slightly more formal than till—possibly because of🌿 the mistaken belief that till is just a shortened form of until🌿. But the difference isn't huge. You can still use till in formal writing without being wrong. 🌿what is the origin of till if it is not until?

I lack the incentive to doing this. I've done this all through my life.
