By the timeje fraza koja se koristi da se nešto (A) desi kada se desi nešto drugo (B). Primer: 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. (Kada sam imao 23 godine, dobio sam osnovnu diplomu.) Primer: We'll be home by the time the food arrives. (biću kući dok hrana stigne)
