next
1.the next two，the next three等表达方式比the two next，the three next等表达方式普通些，也合理些。
2.next往往用作next letter解。例如：I shall tell you more about it in my next.
3.When I next saw him, he was a teacher和When I saw him next, he was a teacher都可以说。
4.下面两句意思相同：
- The next house you come to is a bank.
- The first house you come to is a bank.
但在The first house you come to is a bank and the next one is a school 等句子里的first和next两个单词不要随意改动。
5.next to impossible（或useless等）跟next door to impossible（或useless等）相同，都作almost impossible（或useless）解。
6.next Monday，next week，next month，next April，next year，next spring，next Christmas，next term等都可以说，但不可说next morning，next day，next afternoon，next night和next evening作“明天早上”、“明天”等解，该说tomorrow morning，tomorrow，tomorrow afternoon，tomorrow night和tomorrow evening。但next morning，next day等可以用来指今天以外的任何一天的后一天，往往在前面加上the。例如：They reached the town on Sunday and left it (the) next day. 和I hope to visit you on the evening of 16 October and start for the mountain (the) next afternoon. 用了the前面可以加on，如on the next morning。
7.next Moday，next Tuesday，next Wednesday等也可以指今天以外的任何一天的以后的第一个星期几，往往前面加the。例如：He wrote to me on a Sunday, but I did not find time to reply till (the) next Saturday. 和If I hear from you on Wednesday, I shall arrange to come (the) next Friday. 用了the前面可以加on，如on the next Monday。
8.next week，next month，next April，next year，next spring等也可以指现在以外的任何时候以后的第一个星期、月份等，往往前面加the。例如：The old man fell ill one morning and died (the) next week. 和She will spend some time in the country and return to the city (the) next spring. 用了the前面可以加in，如in the next week。
9.next Monday，next Tuesday，next Wednesday等用作状语短语，前面不加on，如可以说The work will begin next Wednesday，不可说The work will begin on next Wednesday。但把next Monday，next Tuesday，next Wednesday等改成了Monday next，Tuesday next，Wednesday next等便该加上on。例如：The work will begin on Wednesday next. 同样地，next April，next May，next June等用作状语短语前面不加in，如可以说The work will begin next June，不可说The work will begin in next June。但把next April，next May，next June等改成了April next，May next，June next等便该加in。例如：The work will begin in June next. 注意不可说week next，month next，year next，spring next，Christmas next，morning next，day next，afternoon next，night next，evening next等。
10.next Monday，on Monday next等表达方式里的next作“以后最先的”解，并不作“下星期的”解，例如假定今天是10月20日，星期一，所说next Friday或on Friday next是指10月24日，并不指10月31日。说“下星期的星期几”该说on...next week，如on Friday next week。当然有时...next week等于next...或...next，如假定今天是10月24日，星期五，所说next Wednesday或Wednesday next指10月29日，Wednesday next week也是指10月29日。同样地，next April，in April next等表达方式里的next作“以后最先的”解，并不作“明年的”解，如假定现在是10月，所说next December或in December next指今年的12月，并不指明年的12月。说“明年的某月”该说in...next year，如in December next year。当然有时...next year等于next...或...next，如假定现在是10月，所说next April或April next是指明年的4月，April next year也是指明年的4月。
next用在“季”的名称的前面总是作“明年的”解，如在春季说next autumn指“明年的秋季”，“今年的秋季”该说this autumn。
11.I shall call on him (the) next time I go to town等表达方式里的the可有可无，通常是有的（time后面省去that或when）。When I call on him next time, I shall tell him about it等句子里的next time前面不可加上the。
12.What next?（或What next!）表示惊奇，往往含有讽刺的意味。例如：Respect! Treat her with respect! What next, pray!（恭敬！［要我］恭敬地对待她！请问还有比这个更荒唐的事么！）
13.next of kin有时被用作复数。例如：Three next of kin live with him.
