Coachpotato  +  123394 Tue, 02 Aug 05 03:19 PM Could you please tell me the difference between these expressions: at which point, at which time, by which point, by which  time? For example, which one would you use in these examples? A bull charged towards the car, ......... I drove away quickly. I didn't finish work until 10 o'clock, ......... everyone had already gone home. Thank you very much in advance.

	davkett  +  123396 Tue, 02 Aug 05 03:30 PM This is what I would write: A bull charged towards the car, at which point I drove away quickly. I didn't finish work until 10 o'clock, by which time everyone had already gone home. 'At which point' is more specific as to 'the very instant of'. There's also 'point in time', frequently used during the legalistic questioning of witnesses in the 'Watergate' hearings (when Richard Nixon was President of the United States), and subsequently used often by the man on the street, even when there was no need for specificity of time.   davkett Joined on Tue, Jun 7 2005 Pennsylvania, USA Senior Member 2,788 "The rose stays fresh in its name..." -Bernard of Morlay
