Up to date

Hi, nice folks of EF
- Please send me my statement of account up to date.

- I sent you a message a week ago but have not received your reply up to date.

Is it correct if I use "up to date" in these two sentences to mean up till now and what part of speech is "up to date" in these two sentences?

Are there other words or phrases that mean the same as "up till now" or "up to this day"?

thanks

[adj] in accord with the most fashionable ideas or style; "wears only the latest style"; "the last thing in swimwear"; "knows the newest dances"; "up-to-date technology"

I'd say it is better paraphrased with "up to t

Hello Damalord

I would rephrase your sentences as follows:

1a. Please send me an up-to-date statement of account.

or:

1b. Please send me a statement of my account to date.

2. I sent you a message a week ago but have not received your reply to date.
