Not until意思
"Not until" is a conjunction phrase in English that is used to indicate a point in time before which something does not happen. It is used to express a condition or a situation that must be met before an action can occur. The structure is typically followed by a clause that describes the condition or situation.
Here are a few examples of how "not until" is used:
- I won't go to bed until I finish my homework.
- The meeting won't start until everyone arrives.
- Not until tomorrow will we know the results.
- You cannot leave the room until you finish your test.
In each of these examples, "not until" is used to specify a point in time before which the action (going to bed, starting the meeting, knowing the results, or leaving the room) will not occur.
