Default Re: Which one is correct?

Hi, I've got a question.

By can mean on or before, like please finish the work by Friday; in By the time the workers finished loading up the truck, night fell, when the verb of night is the simple past, is it logical or correct or grammatical (but strange?) or possible (but unusual?) or idiomatic (but rare?)
