At times, we confuse in the usage of ‘on time’ and ‘in time’. Now let us try to
comprehend the meaning of the above two phrases correctly.

‘On time’ means ‘exactly at the appointed time’. In other words, if we have to
reach our school at 8.30 a.m. and we go exactly at 8.30 a.m. Then we say
that we have come ‘on time’.

‘In time’ means we reach our school a few minutes before 8.30 a.m. then we
say that we have come ‘in time’.

Our principal attended the meeting on time.
The guests came on time.
You must attend the interview in time.
Please go to the railway station in time.
