in time

[navi tasan]

Which of these sentences is correct (and is there any difference in their meanings?):

1-At the time being I have few books but in time I'll increase them and have a big library.
2-At the time being I have few books but with time I'll increase them and have a big library.
3-At the time being I have few books but in due course I'll increase them and have a big library.

I don't see that there is any meaningful difference (if any) between the three sentences.

Not really. ;-)

Edited for typo. ;-(

 

[RonBee]

They are all correct, except that I would probably put a comma after books. (I noticed that I forgot to answer the first part of the question.)

:wink:

According to emphasis, some might put commas around 'in time' and the others. I do agree with Ron about the comma before 'books'; it isn't essential, but it does break up a rather complex sentence. ;-)
