20 de ene. de 2020 · So "The last Saturday in November" is perfectly correct. So is "I haven't read a book since last Saturday"; but also "I haven't read a book since the last Saturday of November". "the last Saturday" without a qualification would mean the final Saturday of all time, for example if the Earth was being destroyed in less than a week. Share.
29 de ene. de 2015 · Last is more often used with days - I went there last Tuesday, but you can also say I went there on Tuesday. There is really no rule here but it just becomes a matter of usage. Perhaps 'last' emphasises that it was the most recent past Tueday, and not a previous Tuesday. The same sort of principles apply to using 'last' with month.
For example, "My past year in Provence was fun" implies you lived there until very recently. But "My last year in Provence was fun" carries no such implication, and might actually refer to the last of perhaps several years when you lived there, perhaps having moved elsewhere decades ago. – FumbleFingers.
- That was in the last year. Then you may assume that this was shortened to: That was last year. The omission of self-evident "in" does not change the meaning. Then "last year" alone can be used as an adverbial group in a sentence. So "Last year we went to Italy" will be the most frequent formula, simply because it is the shortest indication of ...
13 de oct. de 2010 · “in the last 3 months” - I guess this term should be used with past simple. The time period is already gone. E.g. now is february and if I say "in the last 3 months", I mean "in november, december and january". The term “in the past 3 months" shows the period which is not finished yet. So there should be used the present perfect.

According to Google Ngram Viewer there are some occurrences of preantepenultimate in the corpus. As for dialect, you will rarely see the Latin forms other than ...
29 de feb. de 2012 · 2. I don't think it's a matter of correctness. Both might be grammatical, but "in recent years" is an established idiom, while "in the recent years" isn't. That's why the first sounds more "natural" - it's not matter of grammar, but of popularity and accepted usage. Share.
Your sentence specifies that a plane will be arriving some time in the last week of August. Since this is a nonspecific time, you would say: I'll arrive in the last week of August. If, however, you do choose to say that you'll arrive exactly on the 29th of August, this is a specific day so you would say: I'll arrive on the 29th of August.
3. If you're speaking on Tuesday about something that happened on Monday, it's yesterday. If you want to be more specific, you can say yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening. The exception here is that native speakers almost never say ?yesterday night - it's invariably last night (and conversely, we don't say ?last morning ...
Last is the best replacement I can come up with, but it doesn't sound as fluid as Finally. Forgive me for my painful-to-read example paragraphs. I'm not the most creative human being. First, I grabbed a spoon. Second, I ate the cereal. Third, I drank the milk. Finally, I tossed the bowl in the dish washer.
