	Clive  +  181407 Wed, 11 Jan 06 06:12 AM Hi Lynn, this past Tuesday the most recent Tuesday in the past --can I also say " this Tuesday"? Yes, as long as you use a past tense. With a future-oriented tense, it would refer to the closest Tuesday in the future. You could also just say 'Tuesday'. eg I called Mary on Tuesday. Clive Clive Tenses, Past Tenses
