こんにちは、ちか先生です。

Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

 

Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course.

This one’s for upper beginners (JLPT N4)!

Can you choose the correct answer?

[Answer]

 

今日は8時 (2 までに) うちに帰りたいです。

I want to get home by 8 o’clock today.

 

 

Key Point: まで vs. までに

Here’s the simple difference:

までに 

= by (a deadline)

Use this when an action must be finished before a specific time.

 

まで  

= until (a continuous action)

Use this when an action continues up to a specific time.

e.g.

9時まで勉強(べんきょう)します。

I will study until 9 o’clock.

 

In this sentence, 8 o’clock is the deadline to get home.

 

That’s why までに is correct.

 

 

Other Choices

から

This means “from.”

 

からで

This means “starting from…, so”

 

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
