"For the time being" vs. "in the meantime"
I am confused when to use "For the time being" and when to use "In the meantime". Are they interchangeable? Can you please explain with some examples?
Solution 1:
In the meantime means until something expected happens, or while something else is happening:
Your computer won't arrive till Thursday. In the meantime, you can use Jude's.
for the time being means for a limited period:
Leave the ironing for the time being - I'll do it later.
