This Time Next Week

Product Information

Another tense that we use to talk about the time to come is the future continuous (will be + v-ing): No it’s not what I meant. My “rules” don’t say that. What my “rule” says is that “next Monday” is the next occurring Monday as is “this Monday” and pays no attention to which week you’re in. This is evidenced in the definitions above. This also works for talking about the day or week before last, and the day or week after next. There are no holes in this procedure. There are holes in every other way that people are using next and last. Reply

We can use phrases like by or by the time (meaning 'at some point before') and in or in a day's time / in two months' time / in five years' time etc. (meaning 'at the end of this period') to give the time period in which the action will be completed. As you can see in the examples above, we often use the future continuous with time expressions such as: Defining THIS is where it gets tough for people. If today is Thursday, what defines THIS Monday? But actually, it’s quite easy. When we make statements or ask questions about the goings on of a nearby day, we always use tense. So if I am speaking in the past tense, THIS Monday happens to be 3 days ago. If I’m speaking in future tense, THIS Monday is 4 days from now. Therefore, it’s easy to see that last Monday was 10 days ago, and next Monday is 11 days from now. The key is in knowing that there has to be a THIS, and using it.

This coming Sunday”, though, I’d say brings less confusion – whether said on the Monday or Friday, really that has to mean the upcoming Sunday, only it might be less necessary closer to the day as you might simply say “on Sunday / this Sunday” when less call for having to clearly define it. Reply

I think we all agree that we will always use last and next. What we need to get people to understand is that by dictionary definition, last is the one before THIS one, and next is the one after THIS one. There can be no last or next without a this.

Next Friday will always mean the next Friday in the queue, whether it be tomorrow or six days from now. To refer to the Friday after next Friday, then it must be Friday After Next, and so on. No ambiguity there. To say “this Friday” without actually specifying which Friday you are referring to is a corruption of the meaning of meaning, and there fore has no meaning. Reply

There is sometimes disagreement among English speakers when labelling days in a sequence with this and next, and you may hear people say either this or next to refer to the coming day. If you study sequences of time more carefully, it can help you to understand why this is, and how you can clarify what an English speaker means by, for example “This Friday” or “Next Friday.” As soon as someone buys this chair, I will have sold all the furniture I wanted to get rid of.
