1 The Pentagon is helping Afghan officials arrange to start seeking bids on mineral rights by next fall, officials said.
2 A public meeting to discuss the salmon may be held as early as this fall.
Hi, teacher,
These two sentences are taken from articles published in June, 2010 at the New York Times and both next fall and this fall are refering to autumn in 2010. My question is, are they interchangable in these two examples without changing meanings?
1 The Pentagon is helping Afghan officials arrange to start seeking bids on mineral rights by next fall/ this fall, officials said.
2 A public meeting to discuss the salmon may be held as early as this fall/ next fall.
Thanks.
