till I am done

[navi tasan]

Which is correct:

1-Wait for an hour till I am done.
2-Wait for an hour, till I am done.

I will be finished in an hour. Wait till I am done.

I would think logically one should opt for "2", since "till I am finished" is simply telling us something about "an hour". But I am not sure people would pronounce that sentence with a pause there.

Gratefully,
Navi.

I don't find either one natural.

 

[MartinEnglish]

I wouldn't write either and I wouldn't say either.
When writing don't use "till", use "until" - "Wait for an hour until I am done."

If I was speaking then I'd usually contract everything (including "I am")
"Wait for an hour till I'm done."

 

[emsr2d2]

I don't think I would be likely to use both in one sentence. I would either say:

- Wait till/until I'm done.
OR
- Wait for an hour.

I might say "Wait till/until I'm done - I'll be about an hour" or something similar.

I wouldn't in most contexts.
