In the coming days is acceptable but probably too formal, i agree with @boldben's comment that in the next few days is a better choice.
It will be used in a tabular data program to show information about free work days of employed and each column can't have enought space to include full week day name
For common form i mean, what are the abbreviations that is more used in programs. Are there other such words used for certain numbers of consecutive days? Hospitals are penalized if a patient is readmitted within 30 days after the discharge date Therefore if a patient returns in 30 or fewer days after discharge, it's a ding on the record.
Ask question asked 3 years, 11 months ago modified 1 year, 6 months ago I am required to submit a certain form within 30 days of [a certain date in the future] I suspect that the form's author actually meant to say something like at least 30 days before [a certain date]. 3 i would say that last 2 days refers to the 2 days that terminate any period, regardless of where that period is located in time
For example, you can say
I felt really bad during the last 2 days of that trip in 1998 The past 2 days refers to the 2 days preceding the moment of speaking So it cannot be used as above. So when we say 'the past few days' we mean the complete set of 'past few days', not just some of them, and which means this time phrase matches the tense
