A: Do you think the quality of those products is good ?
B: Until now, they haven't brought the products to us, so we can't draw any conclusion.

Is B saying: "We haven't received the goods yet, so we are not able to know whether they are of good quality?"

Many thanks.

@McTag,
Until now [/b] I haven't been able to contact you.

The above sentence means "In the past I could not contact you, but now I can contact you"

@tanguatlay,
Try using "at this moment" and see if it makes more sense to you, T.

@JTT,
Hi JTT
Until now I haven't been able to contact you.

The above sentence means "In the past I could not contact you, but now I can contact you"


You wrote: Try using "at this moment" and see if it makes more sense to you.

At this moment, I haven't been able to contact you.

Am I doing the correct thing you asked me to? The sentence I posted seems to have a different meaning from the one above. Please let me know where I went wrong.

Many thanks.

@tanguatlay,

"Until now" means "up to the present/ up to the present moment"

examples

I haven't read my mail till now, because I've been on holiday.
I've not seen the news until now, because I've only just come home and switched on the TV.
Until now I've been unaware of your beauty, because you usually wear a bag over your head.

Any further problem?
