We are expected to present it to you by last week of march

We are expected to present it to you by last week of march or We are expecting to present it to you by last week of march or we expect to present it to you by last week of March. Which one is right?

  

Top answer

Last week is in the past, but you use the present tense in all of your sentences. They are all wrong. Say: We were expected to present it to you by last week.

I think the writer means . . . by the last week of March.

Today is March 20. The last week of March is March 25 to March 31. (unless you mean a Monday to Friday week)


All 3 sentences are correct.

We are expected to present it to you by the last week of March. Note that the passive means someone else, eg the client, expects us to present . . .
