Night (2)

Hi Quoc,

Last night, tonight, tomorrow night.

(Not "yesterday night")

1/So, you say last night, you don't say the night before today , you don't say yesterday night. Right?

2/So, you say tomorrow night, you don't say the night after today , you don't say next night. Right?

Quoc

Correct.

The day before yesterday, yesterday, today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.

The night before last, last night, tonight, tomorrow night... I don't know how we commonly say the next one. Perhaps "two nights from now."

Nice! So you dont say "yesterday night"!!!

How about if you add "at" between "yesterday" and "night" like this:

I saw him yesterday at night.

Would it still be incorrect?

If you say "yesterday", it suggests during the day-time. Otherwise you say "last night". I suppose "yesterday at night" is grammatically correct, but no one would say it.

I would simply say 'I saw him last night'.

mucho gracias!!

I can't say how much I am thankful to you guys/girls!!!

- Okay, how about next night?!

.-What are the meanings that "next night" could hold?

- Can it be used in the place of "tomorrow night"?

Thanks for enriching the discussion.

No

You should always use 'tomorrow night' when refering to the night that follows this one.

'The next night' gets used sometimes when you are talking about the order of nights, rather than that specific meaning. (In the way that you might catch the next bus for example). However, people would usually say 'the night after that' in these situations, so 'the next night' is just an a

Understood!

Thanks Nona!
