Is it Next Sunday or This Sunday?

[Shaje]

There has been some discussion about what the proper use of Last This and Next is when refering to days of the week.

For example, If today was Wednesday:


Would you refer to the Monday that passed as Last Monday or This Monday

Would you refer to the following Tuesday (6 days from today) as Next Tuesday or This Tuesday

Would the correct sentence be (On a Wed)

I washed my car this Monday, however, I have to take it again for a wax job next Tuesday

or

I washed my car last Monday, however, I have to take it again for a wax job this Tuesday

Hope someone can help .

If it was crucial, I'd probably use, "the day before yesterday" or " this last Monday" or "this week Monday".

Would you refer to the following Tuesday (6 days from today) as Next Tuesday or This Tuesday

"next Tuesday" would work just fine. Or "this coming Tuesday" or "next week, Tuesday".

Would the correct sentence be (On a Wed)
I washed my car this Monday, however, I have to take it again for a wax job next Tuesday
or
I washed my car last Monday, however, I have to take it again for a wax job this Tuesday.

Both are correct but I guess it's possible that both could be misunderstood. For speech, it's not much of a problem as a listener can ask for clarification.

Again, if it were/is crucial,

I washed my car on Monday last/the day before yesterday, however, I have to take it again for a wax job this coming Tuesday/next week, Tuesday/on Tuesday of next week/next Tuesday.
