Yeah, it was really good
to see you last night.

過去形

法助動詞 A2

Yeah, we haven't seen each other in ages,
so we can get together again next week.

Sorry, that was just
an old friend of mine.

Thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson
on "Next and Last Vs. The Next/The Last".

So, this is a very common confusion, a very
common grammatical problem that I sometimes

hear from people who are learning English
who are at the beginner, and intermediate,

and sometimes at the
advanced level even.

You're here to learn, and if you've clicked
on this video, like, you want to know this

stuff and I'm going to do my best to
transmit this information to you.

Now, when you are talking and using "next"
or "last" with a day of the week, a week,

a month, a season, a year, basically you are
referring to the one which means you are referring

to the day, the week, the month, the season,
or the year directly after or directly before

So, you heard my
conversation on the phone:

"Yeah, it was great to get
together, you know, last night.

And I said I will see them next week, the
week directly after the current week.

The week directly after
this week, the current one.

I saw him basically
directly before today.

Or if it's night now, I saw him last
night, the night before this one.

She told me you promised her
you were going to call her.

The Friday before now,
the most recent Friday.

So if you are, you know, preparing for the
holiday season or a specific time of the year

where it's going to be very busy for you,
and your family, and your friends, you can

say: "Next month", the month
directly after this one.

So, for example, if it's
January, next month is February.

Well, next month after
March is April. Okay?

So if summer just finished and the weather
is getting colder if you are in a country

that, you know, has more than two seasons
or one season in some cases, please...

You know, you can say: "I
can't wait for next summer.

And finally: "We're going to
travel to Prague next year."

So if the year now is
2017, next year is 2018.

So, you use "next" and "last" with a day of
the week, or just the word "week", or a month

of the year, or a season, or a specific year
when you want to refer to the one directly

after or directly
before the current one.

So, when you are talking about the period
of seven, 30, whatever number of days, or

weeks, or months, or seasons, or years, or any
other historical periods, whatever - starting

at or preceding, which means coming before
the moment of speaking, you use: "the next",

Okay, that's a lot of information, so if we
just look at some examples I think it's a

lot easier to understand
and to see what I mean.

So, for example: "The next
2 weeks will be tough."

If you are preparing for exams and you have exams
for two weeks from now when you're speaking,

the moment of speaking,
you're thinking ahead, like:

"Oh, man. Next week and the
week after next week",

so the next two weeks,
this period of time will

be tough starting from
my moment of speaking.

So, basically the 30
days preceding today.

So a month, 30 days, or 31 days, or 29, or 28
days depending on the month and leap years,

You can say: "Oh my god, the last 30
days, the last month has been amazing."

The 30 days preceding
now have been amazing.

Next: "The next year and a half will
be really interesting at my company."

So if your company, you know, is starting
a new type of business plan and they say:

"Okay, we want to get from here to here
in the next year and a half, you can say:

'The next year and a half starting now until a year
and a half from now will be very interesting.'"

So, one more time: "The next year and a half
will be really interesting at my company."

Okay, next: "The last two hours
of work have been a nightmare!"

So, we all have those days sometimes when
you're at your job and everything is going

great, and then there's a period
where something goes wrong.

And it goes wrong sometimes for a few minutes,
sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for the

In this example, can say: "The past two hours, the
last two hours at work have been a nightmare."

And finally: "The next few minutes
of this video are very important."
