0Thank you, but what gots me is the fact that the illustrated sentence can function w/o "the" when placed at the end but like you said, it has to have "the" when the phrase is placed at the beginning.02br 02br 00Ex illustrated:02br 02br 00I went camping to Mt. Shinaru 01i00next day02i00.02br 02br 00vs. 02br
0Thank you for barging in. 02br 02br 00Why is "the " is needed for "next day" but not needed for "next month" like the sentence below eventhough "day" and "month" are both countable nouns?02br 02br 01i00He is coming home 01u00next month02u00. (Why not, "He coming home the next month."?) 02i02br 02br
0 There is a point of view problem here.02br 02br 00 From the present point of view, the expressions are:02br 02br 01i00tomorrow, next week, next month, next year02i00 (that day, week, month, year which is next, i.e., which follows 01b00this02b00 day (today), week, month, year)02br 02br 00 Fr
0 Thing is here is that 'the next day' is 01u00not02u00 the same as 'tomorrow'. 'the next month' is also 01u00not02u00 the same as 'next month'.02br 02br 00For example;02br 02br 00Last Monday, I went to the park. 01u00The next day02u00, I 01u00went02u00 to the zoo.
0is the principle of the point-of-view problem applicable to01i00 last week, last month, and last year02i00?02br 02br 00From which phase of time your are looking at the event, you can either include "the" as in 01i00the last week, the last month, the last year02i00 or do not have to include "the" ? 0-
1i00The negotiations ended last week. 02i02br 02br 00There is no need to place 01b00the02b00 in the sentence above. 02br 02br 00Can anybody please give some examples where one should use 01b00the 02b00with 01i00last week, last year,02i00 etc?0-
0 The point-of-view principle is applicable to 01i00last week, last month02i00, etc. However, the past point of view does not simply add 01i00the02i00 for these. The word 01i00last02i00 disappears and a new word (01i00previous02i00, 01i00preceding02i00, or 01i00before0
