Re: Grammar As a Brit, but not a teacher, I would advise as follows:
1. By "Thursday", I would mean "next Thursday".
If you want to indicate any other Thursday, you need to say which Thursday and then I would use "the" as in "the Thursday after next". Your latest post would therefore be correct.
2. I agree with Riverkid on the 2nd sentence, except, my own personal style would be to leave out the "any", using the "KISS" principle - Keep it short & simple - avoid both repetition and unnecessary additional wording.
Hope this helps |
