| Sep 11, 2014 at 20:49 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | It's a bad tutorial. Idiomatically, a minority of native speakers will refer to Friday next, April next, etc., but that's really "geek speak". The vast majority will put the word next before the relevant noun. | |
| Sep 11, 2014 at 20:49 | comment | added | Tiercelet | May also be a varieties-of-English usage; I have seen something like "Tuesday next" or "April next" in Commonwealth English (only web cite I could find was Indian English though). This is an alternative form of "next Tuesday". Nothing wrong with "April next year" and "By next / I will have been..." is not comprehensible to me. | |
