next morning VS tomorrow morning

    • It depends on which morning you are talking about. If it's the morning of tomorrow, then 'tomorrow morning' is what you want.

    But you could say something like 'I met him last Tuesday evening, and then again the next morning.'

    It's very clear now. Thank you, heypresto.:)
     
    And "next morning" is used instead of "tomorrow morning" in the case of reported speech:

    A: "When are you going fishing?"
    B: "Tomorrow morning."

    [A week later]
    C: "Nobody has seen A since last week; we are worried about him. You met him last week, what did he say?"
    A: "I met him on Tuesday and he told me that he was going fishing the next morning."
     
    Hmmm... "I met him on Tuesday and he told me that he was going fishing the next morning" is not very good, you might hear it colloquially, but you should avoid it.
     
    No. "In" is inappropriate: "[the] next morning" is adverbial - if you insist on using a preposition, you need a noun phrase, e.g. "on the morning of the following day."
