By the timeon fraas, mida kasutatakse selleks, et öelda, et midagi (A) juhtub siis, kui juhtub midagi muud (B). Näide: By the time I was 23, I had received my undergraduate degree. = At the time of turning or being 23, I had received my undergraduate degree. (Kui olin 23-aastane, sain bakalaureusekraadi.) Näide: We'll be home by the time the food arrives. (olen toidu saabumise ajaks kodus)
