使い方のコツ

When talking about time relative to 'now' (like next Monday), we usually don't use the word 'the'. However, we use 'the next' when talking about a sequence in the past or future relative to another event.

⚠️

よくある間違い

Learners often mistakenly say 'in the next week' when they mean 'next week' (the week starting after the current one).

💡

覚え方のコツ

📖

語源

Derived from Old English 'nehst', which is the superlative of 'neah' (near), literally meaning 'nearest'.

文法パターン

Used before a noun to indicate sequence (next person). Used with 'to' as a preposition (next to the car). Can function as an adverb (He spoke next).
🌍

文化的な背景

In many English-speaking cultures, 'next Friday' can sometimes be ambiguous, meaning either the upcoming Friday or the one in the following week; people often clarify by saying 'this Friday' or 'Friday week'.
