Can I write “the next week” in place of “next week” as my answer? Will it be wrong?
Question 10 is “When will Louise’s card be ready?” and the answer would be “Louise’s card will be ready next week”, or “next week” in short.
So if you write “The next week”, it would not be the accurate answer to this question.
The old book method still applies – your answers depend on the question.
