Hi Lorena, thank you so much for your detailed answer! It has helped in that I'm now certain about the meaning. However, I still can't get my head around the fact that "by" does not indicate a deadline as in most temporal situations. 🧐

"Labour-saving appliances were commonplace in the home by the 1960s."
Does "by" in this context mean "in" or "until"?

Is either of these correct grammar-wise?
"We wouldn't have needed to take sandwiches."
"We wouldn't need to have taken sandwiches."

I've just stumbled across a similat structure and wondered why it is this way:
'Rather than go to university in his youth, Agate spent 17 years working for his father's business.'
Can you help me again? 🙏

Is the sentence below correct or does it have to say 'talk' instead of 'talking'?
'If he has criticisms to make of me I wish he would tell me to my face rather than talking behind my back.'
