❇️ Point
تفاوت " In و Within "
به نظر شما تفاوت دوجمله زیر چیست؟
✅ I will come back in an hour.
✅ I will come back within an hour.
👈 مفهوم جمله اول به دلیل استفاده از حرف اضافه ی "in" این است که آن شخص پس از یک ساعت برمی گردد یعنی بیشتر از مدت زمان ذکر شده در جمله ولی مفهوم جمله دوم به دلیل استفاده از "within" این است که آن شخص قبل از اتمام مدت زمان ذکر شده در جمله یعنی یک ساعت برمی گردد. پس معنی جملات بالا به ترتیب عبارتند از:
من پس از یک ساعت دیگر برمی گردم.
من تا یک ساعت دیگر برمی گردم.
