Me gustaria pedir que alguien completa una accion en o antes de una fecha que sugiero. En Ingles, diria algo como "please send it to me by the 19th". Como seria en espanol? Seria por? Por favor mandemelo por el 19?

Gracias!

Para

To mean "no later than" or "by": As can be seen by the examples, this is another way of indicating intent. In some contexts, para can mean "around" or "about" a certain time. Examples: La casa estará lista para el sábado. (The house will be ready no later than Saturday. The house will be ready by Saturday. The house will be ready for Saturday.) La casa estará lista para la boda. (The house will be ready by the wedding. The house will be ready before the wedding. The house will be ready for the wedding.) Llegamos para las cinco. (We're arriving around 5. We're arriving about 5.)
