00:45
In time if you'll just imagine with, me the biggest difference
8
45100

Think of when you're hurrying
10
54340
1890
00:56
You're, already late you
11
56230
2479
00:58
Don't have very much hope of being on time because something already happens maybe
12
58710
7080
01:06
You, took, longer than normal in traffic
13
66280
3620
01:09
maybe there
14
69900
1110
01:11
Was some other delay maybe you saw a friend and you started talking and you know it was hard to say i have to go
15
71010
6719
01:18
Anyway, there's already been delays so you're already, worried you're already sweating you're already
16

01:23
walking faster trying to get to your appointment on time
17
83009
4860
01:28
In time is when
18
88900
2359
01:31
You're, watching baseball and
19
91960
2029
01:34
The the, baseball player the batter has just hit the ball and
20
94990
4940
01:41
The ball has been
21
101200
1860
01:43
caught and
22
103060
1530
01:44
The outfielder, is throwing it to first
23
104590
2389
01:46
Base but the batter is running running running running and he dives in and he just
24
106979
6360
01:55
Touches he just just touches that first
25
115090
3080
01:58
Base just in time in order to stay on first base and not get out
26
118170
5669
02:04
So in time is a bit more
27
124509
3710
02:08
It's a bit more dramatic
28
128890
2000
02:10
It makes me anxious to say, about am i going to be there in time
29
130899
3920
02:15
Am i going to get to the meeting in time to
30
135340
4700
02:20
Not be late to not miss the agenda am i going to get to the bus stop
31
140620
6350
02:27
In time to catch the bus
32
147280
2000
02:30
am i going to
33
150610
2000
02:32
Be at the dinner party in time to eat dinner or am i going to get there after
34
152740
7369
02:40
Everyone, else has eaten all the food already and i just get leftovers
35
160480
4009
02:45
That is in time now?
36
165010
2569
02:48
to, be fair
37
168100
1410
02:49
Enzyme and on time are often used for very similar situations but the biggest difference for me
38
169510
6289
02:55
Is that enzyme is a bit more stressful and there's this
39
175800
3839
03:00
span of time where like, you're already late but you're hurrying, and you're trying to get to a place in
40
180280
7610
03:08
time
41
188650
1200
03:09
to
42
189850
1260
03:11
Take advantage of an opportunity
43
191110
2000
03:13
Whereas on the other hand on time is a bit less
44
193570
4130
03:17
Stressful it's an agreed-upon time you know that to be to work on time you need to be there at
45
197700
6089
03:24
7:55 a.m.
46
204520
1830
03:26
you know that
47
206350
1770
03:28
The train is going to be on time?
48
208120
2750
03:30
Well if you live in japan i lived in japan for three years the train is always on time like
49
210870
5730
03:37
99% of the time it's always on schedule on time
50
217000
4730
03:42
So it's predictable it's scheduled it's on time, make sure you get to work on time or your
51
222250
6619
03:48
Boss might be upset now
52
228870
2250
03:51
Bonus there's a, bonus phrase there's a common
53
231430
2720
03:54
Idiom in the nick of time this goes back to in time not on time but in the nick of time is like
54
234150
7890
04:02
so close to the very last chance to get somewhere or to show up to be
55
242590
7580
04:10
Somewhere in time for something
56
250269
2930
04:13
Like just in the nick of time, means you
57
253810
3049
04:16
Had like a half a second where if you had not shown up at
58
256859
5970
04:23
That time you would have missed that thing let's say, you're going to a, baseball game and
59
263169
5750
04:29
You just arrived at the baseball game in the nick of time to see the most amazing
60
269710
6289
04:36
Play, it happened just like that very quickly and you just caught it in the nick of time
61
276310
6410
04:44
Let's say that you need to catch the bus and you see the bus coming and you're running to the bus stop
62
284110
7070
04:51
You're, you're hoping the bus, doesn't just run by
63
291180
4199
04:55
Well the bus driver sees you you see the bus driver and it's this wonderful moment, where he stops for you
64
295750
7490
05:03
And you catch the bus in the nick of time
65
303240
2429
05:06
You could, have just missed it but you caught that bus in the nick of time
66
306490
4369
05:11
Congratulations so i hope that this clarifies some of the difference between on time in time and then the most
67

05:19
Extreme in the nick of time so use these if you're, always running late or if you
