Quoting CANLI

 But in time that indicate it will have a specific time and on that point it will be easier,no ?

But i wanted to say..by time /with time..while time is passing it will be easier.

 

İs it same ?

 

You could use ´with time´ - ´with time it will be easier´ sounds fine - but ´by time´ just isn´t right. ´In time´ in this sense doesn´t have the same meaning as , eg, ´she arrived IN TIME for the meeting´

 

(I now await comments from oher English native speakers giving examples of when ´by time´ can be used - because there is always someone! lol.  However, I have racked my brains and oersonally can´t think of a single instance when it would be used).

 

Oh!  PS - you can ´buy time´ and also ´bide your time´ - but that´s completely different!

 as an english speaking native what it means to me is that over the course of time, (the length not known) it will become easier for you. "in time" is one of those things that as natives we do not think too much about it because its "instinctively" known. its like in other languages the natives know rules etc that are instinctive more than having an easy explanation.

 

"with time" "in time" can mean the same things depending on the context in which they are used.

 

"in time" can also be used to indicate that someone has made it to a destination "in time" to catch a plane, train, car pool ride, football game, concert.

 

I hope I have not muddied up the waters too bad with my explanation.

side note:

learning english in england growing up, then having to switch to learning english in canada as a teenager, and again learning english as americans speak it .. my english is pretty messed up .. lol .. because certain words I still spell as I was taught in england.  For the longest time whenever there were spelling tests with regards to the black round things you put on your car rims so it can be driven drove my teachers absolutely crazy. In england it is spelt "tyre" and in canada and the usa it is spelt "tire" I had to always explain that "tire" to me means .. you are tired and not those black round things that go on cars .. lol
