Understanding time expressions helps in placing events correctly in time. For example:
Last year refers to the year before the current one. For example, if it is 2043 now, last year was 2042.
This year refers to the current year, 2043 in this example.
Next year will be the year after the current one, which would be 2044 in this case.
When did Linda join the team?
This year.
The expression last year refers to the year before the current one, not this year.
Next year.
Last year means the year before the current year.
Last year.
Five years ago.
Last year indicates a more recent time than five years ago.
