next day
Posted: March 2nd, 2024, 12:10 am
Last week my friend said "I'll come to see you tomorrow."
I want to report to the listener what my friend said:
Last week he told me that he would come to see me next day.
My question is that if the usage/grammar of "next day" is correct in the given reported speech?
Then I would like to know the adjective "next" is used in which of its senses given by the "online" Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (OALD)?
The first sense of the adjective "next" is:
= (usually with the) coming straight after somebody/something in time, order or space
The second sense of the adjective "next" is:
= (used without the) next Monday, week, summer, year, etc. the Monday, week, etc. immediately following
Thank you for your careful consideration in advance.
