​​​A. ​On time ​and in time
​On time= punctual, not late. 시간이 딱 맞는, 늦지 않는.
If something happens ​on time, it happens at the time that was planned:
뭔가가 ​on time에 일어났다면 그것은 계획된 그 시간에 일어났다는 것:
The 15:10 bus left ​on time. (= it left at 15:10)
"I'll meet you at 18:00." "OK. but please be ​on time​." (= don't be late, be there at 18:00)

The opposite of ​on time is ​late:
Be ​on time. Don't be ​late.


​In time (for something/ to do something) = soon enough:
Will you be home ​in time for dinner? (= soon enough for dinner)
I've sent Sofia a 200 days anniversary present. I hope it arrives ​in time(for 200 days anniversary). (= on or before anniversary)
I'm in a hurry. I want to be home ​in time to see Bogeomi on TV. (= soon enough to see Bogeomi)

The opposite of ​in time is ​too late:
I got home ​too late too see Bogeomi on TV.

​just in time도 말할 수 있다. (= almost too late):
I got to the bus terminal ​just in time for my bus.
A child ran into the street in front of the car - I managed to stop ​just in time.

​​​B.​ At the end ​and in the end
​At the end (of something) = at the time when something ends. For example:
​at the end of the month/ at the end of January/ at the end of the game
at the end of the movie/ at the end of the course/ at the end of the concert

I'm going away ​at the end of the December/ ​at the end of the month.
​At the end of the concert, there was great applause.
The players shook hands ​at the end of the game.

"​in the end of..."는 쓸 수 없다. 그러므로 "in the end of December"나 "in the end of the concert."도 사용할 수 없다.

The opposite of ​at the end (​of...) is ​at the beginning (​of...):
I'm going away ​at the beginning of December. (not in the beginning)

​In the end= finally
어떤 상황의 마지막 결과가 무엇인지 얘기할 때 ​in the end 사용:

The professor got angrier and angrier. ​In the end she just ran out of the room.
Sofia couldn't decide where to go on vacation. She went to Pusan ​in the end. (not at the end)

The opposite of ​in the end is usually ​at first:
