“…by the time” vs “…the moment”
I phoned her when she told me about it. And she told me there were no phone calls. Then I heard something rude the next morning.
- Minute
- from
- the moment I
- know that
correct answer was “the moment” yet I don’t comprehend why it is the right answer. Can we substitute “by time” in the place of “the moment”?
What is meaning of this allure?
(math) The moment could be substituted by when or as soon as in your sentence. Do you think you are correct? What is meant here is “Just when I heard the news, I phoned her. I wanted to remain anonymous.” About the moment I heard their news, I texted her. She was so excited. How does this person understand that he heard the announcement and immediately call the police?
By time is used in saying what has already happened for say that something else of the material world happens. And by the duration of that time is to be followed; a person could be seen that the present moment is long gone. It would be correct to say “I had phoned her by the time I heard the news” after making a phone call to her? In this case the situation is different. Is it possible that the phone calls the news or the news instantly.
All in all, Moment is the only right option out of the ones given.
