Re: recent ' a few days ago, I went...'
"a few weeks ago, I was talking to..."
'Not long ago, I bought petrol and it was only half the price. Boy, it's gone up!'
'a little while back' And exactly :) how long is your 'short-time frame of reference'?
Exactly!! that's why I asked you. 'Recent' could be days, weeks, depending on the person's perspective. If we are saying, 'in recent history', we could be talking a couple of centuries!
