Learn English – Three week from now

expressions

We say

This day next year.
This day next week.

What do you say to talk about something that will happen 'this day three weeks from now' ?
Is there a shorter way to to say it, like the above sentences?

What if you say the day like Monday? As in:

'Three weeks from now on Monday.'

Best Answer

I would say

A week today

Three weeks today

but looking on GloWbE, it's pretty clear that these are British (and Commonwealth) English. In American English, the equivalent is

A week from today

Three weeks from today.

(I would never say these).

In British English we can also say

A week next Tuesday

and even

Tuesday week

but I don't think Americans say these much.

I'm not sure about

A year today

but I think it works - certainly there are a few instances of this in GloWbE.

So to answer your question directly:

Three weeks today (BrE)

Three weeks from today (AmE)

In three weeks' time (both).
