[Zoe2008]

1. Can I use "by" for the timing ? or should be used "at"

e.g. I am go to school by evey evening
I have my lunch by 1:00 o'clock every day

2. Can I use "for" for the date ? or should be used "on"

e.g. I have book the tennis for March 30
Please arrange the document to me on March 30

2. Can I use "for" for the date ? or should be used "on"

e.g. I have booked the tennis court for March 30 [on suggests the date the booking was made reather than the date that you wanted to play]

Please send the document to me by March 30

Hope the above corrections help. I'm a Brit, but not a teacher.

notice that on March 30=exactly on that day wheraeas
by March 30=not later than that day
but it could be sooner than that day (March 30);-)

Yes, I agree with Banderas.
Many thanks for clearing the ambiguity.
