Meaning:
Both “until” and “till” mean “up to a point in time”.
They are used to show when something stops or ends.
🔹 1. Formality:
Until is more formal.
Till is more informal (used more in speech).
Example:
I will stay until 6 PM. ✅
I will stay till 6 PM. ✅ (informal)
🔹 2. Position in sentence:
Until can be used at the beginning or middle of a sentence.
Till is rarely used at the beginning.
Example:
Until he arrives, we will wait. ✅
Till he arrives, we will wait. ❌ (sounds awkward)
🔹 3. Spelling note:
Till is not short for “until” — it’s an older word.
“’Til” (with apostrophe) is a poetic or modern informal version but not grammatically preferred.
✅ Final Tip:
If you’re unsure, use “until” — it’s always correct and more accepted in writing.
