until/since difference

[dervast]

Hello! I am trying to figure out the difference between until and since.

For example in the following sentence

"I have to correct some tests until/since tomorrow morning"

I would like to thank you for your help.

Hi,
Maybe it's more difficult than I think, but I will try to help you anyway.
Until -> future
Since -> past

Examples:
1. I have been correcting some tests since 10:00 am today.
2. I will correct some tests until 10:00 am tomorrow.

1. You have been doing this (it started in past - 10:00 am today - and it is still active).
2. You will do something until a specific moment (tomorrow 10:00 am).

As said:
I'm not 100% sure if I actually figured out the problem...
And probably you don't need the "will" in sentence 2.
My examples do not fully match your sentence, but yours should be:
"I have to correct some tests until/[STRIKE]since[/STRIKE] tomorrow morning"

Cheers!

Cool thanks! Now I am curious to learn why in sentence 2
" You will do something until a specific moment (tomorrow 10:00 am)."
will is not needed.

"Will" is most certainly needed in Nightmare's sentence..
