=====Usage notes=====
* {{sense|both senses}} This cannot be used in past or future tense to refer to a time immediately before the subject matter. For example, one does not say {{term||I was very tired yesterday, due to not having slept well last night}}: {{term||last night}} in that sentence refers to the night before the speaker is speaking, not the night before the "yesterday" to which he refers. He would need to say {{term||I was very tired yesterday, due to not having slept well the night before}} or the like.
