The Next versus Next / The Last
versus Last
| POSITION (with article) | TIME (no article) |
| The next (like the following in a list) | Next as a time reference of future |
| Examples: The next time I had a problem I asked for help I'll be the next person |
Examples: The last time I saw him was yesterday I'll be the last one |
| The last (at the end of a list) | Last as a time reference of past |
| Examples: The last week of the term we'll have an exam |
Examples: Last Friday I went to Paris |
