Ponctualité

Exprimer la ponctualité

ou son contraire le retard

ON TIME souligne la ponctualité (Je suis à l'heure ...)

Be on time

IN TIME a plutôt le sens « d'être encore dans les temps »

Soon enough

LATE est le contraire de ON TIME (à l'heure/en retard..)

Don't be late

TOO LATE est le contraire de IN TIME (Cette fois c'est trop tard...)

Avec un exemple c'est toujours plus facile :

Usually, the 6.05 a.m. train to Paris left ON TIME, but today it left LATE.

I nearly missed the 6.05 a.m. train, so I got to the railway station platform just IN TIME.

Last week I got TOO LATE. The train was leaving when I got to the platform.
