Date and time vocabulary
Here are some ways to talk about dates in the calendar.
Today is Thursday, 8th.
In a day or two (Friday 9th, or Saturday 10th – perhaps even Sunday 11th).
Sometime next week (any time from Monday 12th to Sunday 18th).
In a fortnight (Thursday 22nd).
In two weeks' time (Thursday 22nd).
Two weeks today (Thursday 22nd).
In two weeks from now (Thursday 22nd).
In a week tomorrow (Friday 16th).
This time next week (Thursday 15th).
A week ago (Thursday 1st).
For the time being (from now until further notice).
Other time expressions
from time to time = occasionally: "I see him from time to time."
time and time again = repeatedly: "She's told the children time and time again to be careful of the road."
on time = at the right time: "She's always on time for work."
in time = before the deadline: "They bought him a card in time for his birthday."
at times = sometimes: "At times she felt that nobody understood her problem."
time out = take a break: "OK, time out – let's come back to this later."
Is "time and again" equivalent to "time and time again"? I have often read the expression "time and again" in many places. Is there any typographical error in your definition?Both phrases are correct, but "time and time again" is more emphatic than "time and again". You're more likely to use it if you're annoyed or frustrated with someone.
