"take a day off tomorrow from work" / "take tomorrow off from work"




Is it possible to say "take a day off tomorrow from work" in place of "take tomorrow off from work"?
  

Top answer

If "a day" is to be incorporated then I would prefer "take a day off work tomorrow". I don't like "off from" much in the original either. "off" alone seems sufficient.

Tomorrow is traditionally seen as a noun there, but at least one modern grammar analyzes it as a pronoun on the grounds that it can't take determiners (the tomorrow) and that it's semantically like the central pronouns I and you in that it's used

Normally not, but occasionally it can, e.g. "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday".

Yeah, there's no denying it's a noun there. I was only concerned with the tomorrow (
