These quizes are about the usage of by  and until
I selected them. Please check them out!!!
The bold thing is mine.

 1. I’ll come back (by / until) 9.              
 2. I will not get married (by / until) the age of 40.
 3. He will not come back (by / until) tomorrow.  
    - I think both of them ok in the number2,3.
      but I'm not sure if by is right.

4.  I’m gonna love you (by / until) the end of time.
