4. As an adverb, next means after this, then: «What happens next?» [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/N/next/#m4)

### In the lessons

In maths: the following day, week, number or turn; often a later step of a story or the following number in a pattern; «the next day», «the next number». In everyday life: queues («Next, please!»), timetables («the next bus»), plans («next year»). In science: the next step of an experiment. In stories: «The next morning…», «What happened next?»

### Note

«The next day/week» starts a new step: add or compare with the earlier amount. In patterns, find the rule and apply it once more. «Next to» is a place word with no number. «Next Friday» can be unclear: this coming Friday or the one after; ask if it matters. Opposite: previous, last. The next number after a whole number n is n + 1.
