"in the last weeks" or "over the last weeks" #1 (permalink) Sun May 10, 2009 0:20 am   "in the last weeks" or "over the last weeks"
 

Future

I'm going to travel next week.
I'm going to travel for the next weeks/week.

Is there any variation depending if "week" is plural or singular ?

------

Past -> Until now

I've been working over the last week.
I've been working over the past week.
I've been working in the last weeks/week.

To mean "throughout", the beginning of the action until now, which of those sentences above are right ? I also got a little confused about "last" and "past" concerning those situations. In addition to it, when the noun week is in plural or singular, is there any change in the structure ?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any variation depending if "week" is plural or singular ?-- In meaning? Only the obvious one of length of time.

To mean "throughout", the beginning of the action until now, which of those sentences above are right?-- The first two suggest this more strongly.

In addition to it, when the noun week is in plural or singular, is there any change in the structure ?-- See above.
