Is "days in the future" or "days into the future" grammatically correct? [closed]
When writing a sentence referencing a specific future time period, how would you correctly form the sentence?
As an example, which of the following would be correct?
- That date is more than 5 days in the future.
- That date is more than 5 days into the future.
Solution 1:
If you say "into the future" it is referring to movement. For example, I could say "I traveled five days into the future"
If you say "in the future" it is a bit less clear - but you can assume that they are talking about something that may happen "five days in the future I will run a marathon"
Does that help?
