at first and at last ‘At first’ means initially or at the - TopicsExpress



          

at first and at last ‘At first’ means initially or at the beginning. You use ‘at first’ to contrast with what happened later. At first I couldn’t understand what people were saying, but after a few weeks I understood a lot. ‘At last’ means finally or in the end. If you say that something has happened ‘at last’ you mean that it has happened after a long wait. The parcel I ordered online a month ago has arrived at last. You can emphasis this and say ‘at long last’ for a very long delay. At long last I have finished my studies.
