ten, ten-thirty
She will be here by ten to ten-thirty.
Is it okay to use 'to' in this context? or it must be followed by points in time as in:
She will be here by ten, ten-thirty.
Thanks!

Hi N2G, If you're speaking, then "She'll be here by 10, 10:30" is a very common way to say it. " So either is fine. More formal (if you had to capture it in writing, for example): "She is expected to arrive between 10 and and 10:30".
