Every time i hear them say it, i wonder if it is correct to use the wor. 3 “earlier today” is a totally correct way to refer to a point in time between the beginning of the day and the current time When did the change happen
It's Your Birthday! Celebrate With These Amazing Ideas
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).
2) as of today, all passengers must check their luggage before boarding the plane. 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) But all five options are grammatically faultless, i believe. The last example means something different, though
“what day is (it) today?” refers to the day of the week, not the date. The phrase our today's meeting is commonly used in indian english, even though other dialects of english frown upon it The mentioned examples in the comments of our today's specials and our today's speaker will, i think, sound off to many speakers, but possibly not as much as our today's meeting. 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.
