Words to decribe near and far future?
Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help. I have a question like this.
"Later" or "later on" means sometime in the future. Could it be near future and remote future?
Is there a word to describe the near future?
Like this sentence:
A: Do you want to drink some water?
B: I am busy. Later I will. (maybe five minutes later)
Is there a word to describe the far future?
Like this:
A: Do you want to write a book for children?
B: I am busy now. Later I will. (maybe one years later)
Regards,
Stephen
