Have you ever wondered why we say "I'll see you next week," not "I'll see you the next week?" After all, week is a countable noun and thus requires an article in the singular, and next, when followed by a noun, usually combines with the as do ordinals, e.g. "I'll see you at the next meeting." From both theoretical and practical points of view, this class will teach you (a) why we say next week and last week and (b) when we say next/last week or the next/last week.
