Does "the day or two" mean that particular day and the following day or two? Thanks, meantolearn Joined on Thu, Feb 24 2005 Regular Member 808 I think; therefore I am.

	Clive  +  321247 Mon, 29 Jan 07 02:30 AM Hi, Much depends on the sentence/context that contains the expresssion. Here are a couple of comments. 1. Does "the day" mean that particular day, but we don't know what exact day it is? What do you mean? I know but I don't know? eg I can't remember the day that I first met him. eg I will never forget the day that I first met him. 2. Does "the day or two" mean that particular day and the following day or two? eg The day or two after I first met him were wonderful. ( This really just means a period of a few days. It's a rather vague expression. ) Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,676 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo
