Prochain vs Suivant
I get confused between prochain and suivant. The next day is le jour suivant, but the next summer is l'ete prochain, right? How do I know when to use what? Thanks.
This question relates to:French lesson "Prochain/Dernier = Next/Last + [durations] in French"

Bonjour John !
The difference is as such:
- "Prochain" = (x) next
l'été prochain = NEXT summer
- "Suivant" = following/next
l'été suivant = the following summer / THE next summer
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !

So the difference is that suivant goes with THE?
So, l'été prochain je vais visiter Paris, et l'été suivant (deux ans de maintenant) je vais visiter Madrid.
Is that correct? Thanks.
