In other day, in past, or a few weeks ago?

- We already promised before that we would get dinner with our 2 teachers.

Is this sentence grammatically okay? I feel that "before" is a little odd.
Do I have to change to " in other day", "in past", " a few weeks ago",or " last time?

Thank you in advance for your teaching.

We already promised before that we would have dinner with our 2 teachers . That is fine; AmE often uses 'already' with simple past. Son James Do I have to change to " in other day", "in past", " a few weeks ago",or " last time?

  • Actually, the first 2 of those are not grammatically possible; you may use the latter 2 if you like.
