In my town, people with phd's in education use the terms, on today and on tomorrow. i have never heard this usage before You could also say these days, in recent times and at present or presently Every time i hear them say it, i wonder if it is correct to use the wor.
Neither are clauses, but today in the afternoon is grammatical (adverbial phrase of time), while today afternoon is not
I would also suggest this afternoon as a more succinct and idiomatic alternative to today in the afternoon.
Today means the current day, so if you're asking what day of the week it is, it can only be in present tense, since it's still that day for the whole 24 hours In other contexts, it's okay to say, for example, today has been a nice day nearer the end of the day, when the events that made it a nice day are finished (or at least, nearly so). They are both correct for different situations For example, as on 16 may, he again failed to arrive at work on time
And as of 16 may he will have worked here for a full year. The 2002 reference grammar by huddleston and pullum et al., the cambridge grammar of the english language, would consider words like yesterday, today, tonight, and tomorrow as pronouns (specifically, deictic temporal pronouns) I am writing a résumé I want to specify that i started my education in 2009 and as of now i am at the 4th grade (in other words, still learning), so how should i specify that in résumé
The last example means something different, though
“what day is (it) today?” refers to the day of the week, not the date. 14 nowadays and today are both perfectly acceptable
