Until
Dear Friends,

A: Have you done your homework yet?
B: No, but I'll do it until Friday.
Well, I do not believe the key. Am I right?
Best,

Hi Palinkasocsi
In your sentence, you should use the word "by".
"By" and "until" refer to different things.
The word "until" refers to all of the time up to a point in time (or all of the time between a starting point and an ending point).
For example, if you say "I am going to phone John until next Friday", that sugges
