⭐️ The Differences between In Time and On time ⭐️
📕1- In time means 'by or before the time in question' ('This train will get us there in time. It arrives at 10.30 and the meeting is not until eleven o'clock'). On the other hand, on time means 'at the recognised or scheduled time' ('The train arrived on time', 'He rarely gets to work on time'). In other words, we use in time to mean early enough, whereas we use on time to mean at the exact time. However, using on time implies there was a prior arrangement to do something.
We can say: I arrived on time for the meeting.
Whereas using in time means in a good time to do something without the need for a prior arrangement.
So we can say:
The police arrived (just) in time to catch the thief.
BUT: We cannot say: The police arrived on time to catch the thief. [For some reason, there is no prior arrangement between policemen and thieves who are to be caught.] 😁
📘2 - In time can be followed by for (in time for dinner, in time for the concert), but on time cannot.
📗3 - Both may be preceded by just (just in time, just on time), but only in time can be qualified by any word or expression referring to amount or extent (e.g. in plenty of time, in ample time, in good time).
📒4 - In time has another meaning. That is 'ultimately', or 'at unspecific time in the future'.
The journey may seem long and tedious, but we shall get there in time.
Cf.The expression all in good time=sooner or later, when the time permits, or when it is propitious.

🔹Before the main verb:
• Your dog probably wants to go outside.✅
• Probably, your dog wants to go outside.❎
• I probably have a cold.✅
• Probably, I have a cold.❎
🔹After the verb to be:
• He’s probably sick.✅
