hello,
I think the two sentences are both right. Do you think so?
A. The coat won't lose its colour until it's washed.
B. The coat won't lose its colour after it's washed.
Thank you. |

They are both correct, but they have opposite meanings.
In A, you believe the coat will stay the same color, but when it is washed, it will lose its color.
In B, you believe the coat will stay the same color before and after it is washed. |
