Within/have been

Hi

1. I've seen her in the last few days, so I guess ...

--- If I change "in" into "within" will the meaning remain the same?

2. I've been ill for the last few days.

--- I understand it means that I fell ill a few days ago and I'm still ill?

Thanks

  • Yes, I would say the meaning wouldn't change if you used "within" instead, though I'm not sure why you would want to!
