TESL - does anyone know of a rule for by/until?
I teach English to a young girl (she's German) and I can't explain the difference between by and until.
Does anyone know a rule?
Like for/since - for is used when talking about a period in time, and since is used when talking about a point in time.
Thanx in advance ;)

I hope nobody is offended, and just to explain: I've just watched 'The Wave' (1981 I think) and I was just thinking about dictatorship, etc, etc.
Anyway: I'm not trying to glorify (or advertise) Hitler or nazi's or anything, I was just interested and loved this music...

1 AnswerOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoThe rule about yours sincerely vs yours faithfully?
I think I remember there being a rule about when to use which - If you start Dear Sir/Madam then you end with yours sincerely. If you start Dear Mr.X (or Mrs. X) then it ends with yours faithfully.
Is that right or is it the other way around or did I just totally imagine that rule?
Please help!!

2 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoDoes anybody know the japanese for?
"Council on japanese language" which was created in 2002 to oversee the admission of foreign words into the japanese language. This has nothing to do with teaching japanese as a foreign language. It is just a council set up in Japan which oversees which foreign words are admitted into the japanese language. Thankyou :)
