1. In time / On time
On time means that there is a specific time established when something is supposed/expected to
happen, and it is happening at the planned time.
(a) My job interview is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
If I arrive at 4:00 PM, I am on time for the interview.
In time means that something happened at the last moment before it was too late; before something
bad would happen.
(a) The accident victim was seriously injured; they got him to the hospital just in time. (If they
hadn’t arrived at the hospital, he might have died)
2. Deny / Refuse / Reject / Decline
To deny something is to say something is not true, or say that you DID NOT do something:
Example- (a) The teenager denied stealing the DVDs from the store.
To refuse is NOT to do something, or to say firmly that you WILL NOT do something:
(a) The employee was fired after he refused to do what the manager asked.
Note that after deny we use the -ing form or a noun, and after refuse we use the “to” form of the
verb.
To reject something is to not accept it – often because it’s not good enough, or because you don’t
believe in it.
