Difference between 'in time' and 'on time' ?
To reach on time
indicates that someone/something reached
at the scheduled or expected
time. He/she is neither early nor late.
Example: The Board
meeting started on time ( It was scheduled to start at 3 pm and it did start at
that time) * The train was scheduled to arrive at 7 pm and it reached on
time.
To reach in time
indicates that someone/something reached before the schedule time.
Example: The film
was scheduled to start at 8 pm and we reached in time ( before the show
started).
When you are on
time, you are not late but you don’t have any spare time. When you are in time,
you actually reach before the scheduled time and you have some spare time to
relax.
