later vs. late #1 (permalink) Wed Nov 26, 2008 9:18 am   later vs. late		  
Hello, I have a lot of questions today Smile


It's going to rain later today.

How about 'late' instead of 'later'? If it's not possible, please let me know why.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

'Late today' suggests towards the end of the day in contrast to 'early'. 'Later' on the other hand indicates not now but further on in the day.
