Hi.

''... Romanticism is a literary movement spanning roughly 1790–1850. The movement was characterized by a celebration of nature and the common man, a focus on individual experience, an idealization of women, and an embrace of isolation and melancholy.''

There are two sentences left in the passage that we have been reading in class, and there are only two students who want to read aloud. So, the teacher tells me to read the sentence, starting with Romanticism, aloud:

Michael, read the sentence up to the point.
Michael, read the sentence until the point.

Which one is OK to say, up to the point or until the point?

Neither. I can only surmise that your teacher means ‘up to the full stop/period’.

Ordinarily the teacher would simply ask you to read the sentence.
