Hi ridcully, I really love to read your explanation, which is always easy to understand. If I have the time during the Dec holidays, I will compile all your answers for my son to read. I think it is better than any of the english guide that i can find in popular. :thankyou:

piggylalala,
i agree!
i am already doing that (the compiling part)
thanks R!

The preposition 'at' is used for a specific time.

'By' means that the students can arrive at any time so long as it is not later than 6.20 pm.

'At' means the flag-lowering will take place come 6.20 pm and that the students must be there when it occurs.
