'by tonight' or 'within tonight'

English Language & Usage Asked on April 19, 2021

  1. Finish the work within tonight.
  2. Finish the work by tonight.

Are they both correct? The meaning of the two sentences might be different.

One Answer

By tonight means by the end of the current day.

Within tonight is not an idiomatic phrase. It could be understood to mean during the current night, but for that we would normally say by [the] morning.
