1) Where were you next Thursday night ? (Were is past tense. Next Thursday night is a future time. This sentence is incorrect).
2) Where will you be next Thursday night? (OK).
3) Where are you going to be next Thurdays night? (OK. 2 and 3 mean the same).

WHERE WERE YOU NEXT THURSAYS NIGHT (Actually this is coming from the TV commercial).

(I had never heard that, so I did a Google search. There was only one reference. Apparently a newspaper wrote up a report in advance describing the event (presidential debate) that would take place the next Thursday night. Most replies on the website joked about the newspaper's ability to foretell the future. The TV commercial you saw may be a take-off on this. Or, my guess may be wrong. Anybody else have an idea?)

Rusty, Thanks, I think the TV commerical is also making a joke about this, thanks again.


Guest/Jorg, Now, you can shut your big mouth, it is only a joke on the TV commerical, and don't forget I have studied English more than you sucked milk.
