Description

Tiny words like on, in, at, by, and until play a big role in clear communication—but they can also lead to confusion, especially when it comes to deadlines and schedules. In this episode, we break down how to use these prepositions correctly to avoid misunderstandings and deliver professional, polished emails and conversations.

Learn how to:

  • Use on, in, and at for specific days, times, and longer periods.
  • Distinguish between by (deadlines) and until (ongoing actions).
  • Apply these rules to real-life business scenarios with confidence.
