since last month vs during the last month vs during the last "She hasn't written much since last month."
OR
"She hasn't written much during the last month."
OR
"She hasn't written much during last month."
I guess they would all be acceptable?Last edited by ostap77; 20-Nov-2012 at 22:31.

Re: since last month vs during the last month vs during the last Can you please explain why we can leave out the definite article in the first two sentences but in the last one?

Re: since last month vs during the last month vs during the last The first two are fine. the third isn't. Originally Posted by ostap77 Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.

Re: since last month vs during the last month vs during the last The first two are acceptable but they do not mean the same thing.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.

Re: since last month vs during the last month vs during the last You do sometimes seem to be doing your best to encourage people not to respond to your posts. Originally Posted by ostap77 Last edited by 5jj; 24-Nov-2012 at 14:23.
