Postpone until vs. to

[jokaec]

Can I postpone / put off the meeting 'until' or 'to' 8 o'clock?

Are 'until' and 'to' the same in the context above? Thank you!

They have the same meaning here, jokaec, but I hear "until" or "till" more often than "to" after "postpone". "To" sounds slightly off to me.

I would always use "until" in that context.

 

[Parla]

I'd use "till".

 

[jokaec]

Thank you all. Are the sentences below exactly the same? If so, which one is more common? Thank you!

Can we postpone the lesson until 3PM?
Can we change the schedule of lesson to 3PM?

 

[8thnote]

"Can we postpone the lesson until 3pm" sounds more natural than your second example.

I'm fine with postpone to and postpone till, with a preference for the latter if you are talking about a time.

I think your second sentence works better if you say 'Can we reschedule the lesson to/for 3pm?'
