文法句型

anytime + clause

anytime between/before/after + time

用法筆記

Common in informal speech and writing; in formal documents 'at any time' is preferred. Often appears at the end of a clause or before a 'between/after/before' phrase. The fixed expression 'anytime now' means 'very soon'.

常見錯誤

I will see you any time soon.
I will see you anytime soon.
when meaning 'at any moment from now', write it as one word.
Please file the report anytime by Friday.
Please file the report any time before Friday.
in formal instructions with a deadline, the two-word 'any time' is clearer.
