written plan listing event times
A plan that shows what happens at what time.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone]'s timetable for [period]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often confuse 'timetable' and 'schedule'. In British English, 'timetable' is common for daily or weekly plans and public transport, while in American English 'schedule' is used more often. Learners may also say *'in the timetable'* when 'on the timetable' is more natural for something that is included or listed.
Mga kasingkahulugan
schedule (More common in American English; slightly broader and more general than 'timetable'.)
|
agenda (Usually lists the order of items in a meeting rather than all time periods in a day.)
Mga kasalungat
free time (Refers to time without planned activities, the opposite of time that is fully set out in a timetable.)

list of school or class times
A list that shows when each school or college class starts and ends.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone]'s timetable for [day/term]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may say *'I have timetable of five lessons'* instead of 'I have a timetable with five lessons' or simply 'I have five lessons on my timetable.' They may also confuse 'timetable' with 'syllabus'; a syllabus is a list of topics, not the times of classes.
Mga kasingkahulugan
class schedule (Common in American English; often sounds more natural than 'timetable' there.)
|
lesson plan (Focuses on what is taught in a lesson rather than the overall timing of all classes.)
Mga kasalungat
free period (A time with no class, contrasting with times that are filled on a timetable.)

to schedule something on a timetable
To plan a time for something and write it in a timetable.
Padron ng paggamit:
to timetable [event/activity] for [time/day]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use 'timetable' as a verb where native speakers prefer 'schedule', especially in American English. For example, in AmE it is more natural to say 'They scheduled the meeting' than 'They timetabled the meeting.' Also, learners may forget the preposition 'for' and say *'timetabled on 10 a.m.'* instead of 'timetabled for 10 a.m.'
Mga kasingkahulugan
schedule (More common and flexible verb; 'timetable' sounds slightly more formal or institutional, especially in BrE.)
|
program (Often used for arranging items in an event or broadcast schedule rather than everyday activities.)
Mga kasalungat
cancel (To remove an event from a timetable so it no longer happens.)
