906 - How to Use ‘By’ in English - Time, Deadlines, and Authorship Explained

from Happy English Podcast · host Michael Digiacomo Happy English

Welcome - and by the way - thanks for stopping by today! I’ve been thinking… by is one of those little words that shows up everywhere in English.  It’s just two letters, but it does a lot of work. Today we’re gonna take a close look at by - and I think you’ll be surprised at how many different ways we use it. You’ve probably seen BY in phrases like “by the time I got there,” or “a book by Hemingway,” or even “I’ll finish it by Friday.”  Yeah - by is short, but powerful.  Time, location, who did something, how something happens… yep, by does it all.  So, let’s break it down - nice and easy.Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads📘 Get free weekly English lessons plus instant access to my FREE Vocabulary Workshop.:https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/free-english-lessons🎥 Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts🌐 Learn more about my English lessons and courseshttps://www.myhappyenglish.com
