We sometimes get confused about “This Weekend”,
“Next Weekend” or “Last Weekend”.Today’s episodeis going to clear up for us.
For example, if it's Wednesday May 10 then
the closest Friday May 12 would be called "this Friday" not
"next Friday". Because "next Friday" would be May 19.
It's all depends on where you currently are
in the week.
Last weekend:if it’s Monday May 12 ,last
weekend would be May 10/May 11, it could also be May 3/May 4, but it probably
means the closest one back.if you’re not sure,you can ask for more clearly.
The most important thing to learn from today
is don’t be afraid to ask questions to clarify!
