1. You will go to Canada this vacation (on this vacation?), won't you?
2. He went to Vancouver the last/previous (in the last or in the previous?) week.
3. He went to Vancouver the past/previous (in the past or in the previous?) weekend.
4. He was busy the last/previous (in the last or in the previous?) year.
