I'm not sure it's obligation - it doesn't say "it must occur." It could also mean "you should expect it during that time - but it's possible it will be a little sooner or a little later."http://www.englishforums.com/English/NineToElevenDaysPrior/dxppv/post.htm#324499Tue, 26 May 2009 02:42:20 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:324499Yoong Liat4http://www.englishforums.com/English/NineToElevenDaysPrior/dxppv/post.htm#324499http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-324499.xmlMarius Hancu wrote: I've edited, see mods.

Does it mean that it may occur during up to eleven days before the start of the semester or only during 2 days (from day 9 to 11) and not immediately before the start of the semester? Thank you
