Be careful when saying ‘last day’ or ‘next day’:

So in our sessions virtually every client falls into this trap. Avoid saying ‘last day’ or ‘next day’ when you want to talk about the last or next occasion an event such as one of our Skype English classes will happen. For instance, students often say something like ‘I’d like to look at uncountable nouns next day’. The use of ‘next day’ here is a significant error. Remember that ‘next day’ and indeed ‘last day’ are direct translations from the Spanish and they don’t work in the same way in English. As alternatives we could use ‘next/last time’ or ‘in the next/last session’ when mentioning the next or last instance something will take happen. We hope that makes sense.
