0 1. We tell the time 'by' watches and clocks. Prepositions are awkward, you just have to learn which is correct for each circumstance even though others might seem just as logical. 02 br
02 br
00 2. I agree that either by or before could make sense here. 'by' does have a sense of arriving only just before or at 8pm, whereas 'before' means if you are there at 8, you are late! 02

0 You use it when you only have a rough idea of the time period, more of a time-span than a precise time. 02 br

00 It took me about 20 seconds to type the first sentence. Dinner will be ready in about half an hour. The average classroom has about 30 pupils. It could be a bit more or a bit less than the time/quantity stated. 0-
