What day is it tomorrow?

Question

What day is it tomorrow?

And I suppose these would be the possible answers.

Tomorrow is Tuesday.

It is Tuesday tomorrow.

Is that it?. Thank you.

Answer 1

I would probably respond with either: "Tuesday" or "Tomorrow is Tuesday."

I don't know that I would ever respond by saying "It is Tuesday tomorrow," though.

Yes, I suspected something. It is Tuesday tomorrow. I don't like this answer. - nila45, Nov 29, 2010

Answer 2

I don't agree with the others saying that

"it is Tuesday tomorrow"

is wrong.

I often say it, of course I say it like this

"it's Tuesday tomorrow"

It is like

"It's Christmas tomorrow, yaaaaay"

you can also say the other ways too

I wasn't trying to imply that it was wrong as much as to say that, in response to a question, it comes off awkward to me....as with many questions of usage it's usually a story of different strokes for different folks - Izanoni1, Nov 29, 2010

Not wrong, but not common, either. - samdie, Nov 29, 2010

Answer 3

I think you can also use "will be" or "is going to be" in the place of is:

Tomorrow will be Tuesday. Tomorrow is going to be Tuesday.

I think "it is (it's) Tuesday tomorrow" is grammatically correct, but I don't think I normally use that structure unless it is to emphasize the specialness of a particular day- ie "it's Saturday tomorrow" to emphasize that I do not have to go to work that day.

Most commonly, I would say "tomorrow is Tuesday".

Sometimes I might say "tommorrow would be Tuesday"- but that would not be a normal usage and I am not sure where I am deriving it from. I would use it to imply that I am being asked something everyone should already know- so maybe short for "tommorrow would be Tuesday unless you know something that I don't".

"Tomorrow would be Tuesday" sounds distinctly odd. It either is or isn't. - Pibosan, Nov 29, 2010

That is precisely what I mean by saying it is not normal usage. I still say it when I mean to imply that I am being asked something that the questioner should know- and I can't figure out why I say it since it is clearly wrong. - Stadt, Nov 29, 2010

Answer 4

"Tomorrow's Tuesday", "Tomorrow will be Tuesday" or simply "Tuesday".

Answer 5

Yes, "tomorrow's Tuesday" is what I would say. "It is Tuesday tomorrow" sounds a bit text book-ish.
