Sometime next week (any time from Monday 12th to Sunday 18th).
In a fortnight (Thursday 22nd).
In two weeks’ time (Thursday 22nd).
Two weeks today (Thursday 22nd).
In two weeks from now (Thursday 22nd).
In a week tomorrow (Friday 16th).
This time next week (Thursday 15th).
A week ago (Thursday 1st).
For the time being (from now until further notice).
Other time expressions
from time to time = occasionally: “I see him from time to time.”
time and time again = repeatedly: “She’s told the children time and time again to be careful of the road.”
on time = at the right time: “She’s always on time for work.”
in time = before the deadline: “They bought him a card in time for his birthday.”
at times = sometimes: “At times she felt that nobody understood her problem.”
time out = take a break: “OK, time out - let’s come back to this later.”
