Hi, may I say "The week after last we decided to play football last weekend", or have I to say "The week after last we decided to play football last weekend"? An action - PLAYING FOOTBALL occured last weekend. 'The week after last' is not a natural thing to say.

Hi,



'The other week' is a vaguer term. It means 'one of the recent weeks', and is used in situations where there is no need to be more precise.
