within / in
Hi all,
I wanna know about the difference between through, in and within in these sentences: I will go through a day. I will go within a day. I will go in a day.
Hi R-S!
First off, it's good that you have a grasp of "wanna", but were I the one asking the same question, I would have written "I would like to know if there is a difference between through, in and within in the following sentences". It's just more appropriate. "Wanna" can be taken to be rude when asking so directly. Ok. These sentences can be interpreted several ways each. Do you mean "leave" by 'go' in #2 and #3? If so, that will narrow down the mightlihoods a bit. I will go through a day (--too ambiguos--this can mean too many things depending on context. I cannot immediately relate this sentence to the other two by analogy) I will leave within a day's time I will leave in one day's time
"in" gives more of a sense that it's happening after a day, while "within" makes it clear that it could be earlier that a day. "through" doesn't really make sense.
