Dear teachers:
Is "for a year to come" synonymous to "for the next year"? Thanks. |

Yes (from now until a year from now).
However, a less frequent intended meaning of "for the next year" is "for a year starting next January." That meaning is not the same as "for a year to come." |

Thanks bud. I've never thought it that way. |
