Can you use d'ici in the past? For example, can I say: "La semaine dernière j'ai beaucoup travaillé, a tel point que d'ici vendredi j'étais crevée."?

D'ici in the past?
This question relates to:French lesson "By + [point in time] = d'ici [moment] in French"
Asked 2 years ago
Bonjour Danielle,
'D'ici + [point in time]' wouldn't be used in the past.
For your example, you could have the following structure:
La semaine dernière j'ai beaucoup travaillé, à tel point que, arrivé vendredi, j'étais crevée.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
