Good day...

Today’s quote:

“Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor,

   and second-nature in a married man.”

- Helen Rowland

Today’s Bonus: Until ~ Up to    

 ‘Until' and ‘till' are usually used with time. In terms of meaning, there is no difference. ‘Until' is considered to be the more formal than ‘till'.

e.g.: There are no tickets available until/till February.

 

‘Up to' is used to refer to distance, and not time.

e.g.: The students walked up to the gate and started throwing stones.

The word can also be used to talk about quantity.

e.g.: Some people are earning  up to Rs.10, 000 sitting at home
