Can someone tell me how the word 〜まで　would be used? I believe it means to a place, or as far as a place, or until a time. But how would you use it in a sentence? Where is it's proper place? Thanks in advance.

It's all here: https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/verbparticles&sa=U&ei=X__wUPvXOsnOkwXg_4GgBw&ved=0CA8QFjAD&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGF8hD-wEJnb5tq82UGPkPOs_fj2A

for time, in english it means "until". ex>・夜の8時まで仕事がある。・学校は日曜日まで休みだから遊ぼう！・今月末まで忙しいから、終わるまで徹夜しなきゃ・・・。・給料日までお金が無い・・・。　・卒業するまであと1週間。・結婚式まであと2日。 and for place, in english it means "to" "for". ex>・空港まで車で送ってくれる？・大阪から東京まで、新幹線で約2時間かかる。 A : "どこに行くの？" = Where are you going? B : "ちょっとそこまで。" = I'm going around the corner. ☆Here is one more thing of まで for time. ex>・明日"までに"この宿題をやらないといけない。・12時"までに"寝なさいよ!!! As you can see, "までに" means in english it's "by". and also it's very useful. Feel free to ask me anything you have questions or whatever. I'll try my best^^ 頑張ってっ!!!(>▽<*))))
