Today I booked a hotel. We are visiting Prague next month.

Today I worked at the office. As of tomorrow I'm working I will be working at home for some days. [1]

Today I had a day off. Tomorrow I’m working at home, but then I’m working  I will be working at the office for some days.

I was sewing a dress for hours today. It will be finished in 10 minutes<em></em>. I’m relaxing lair this day. <em>(later today?)</em>

There is something wrong with the dog's feet. Do you have any idea what may have been happen happened? [2]

 

1. <em>As of tomorrow/Starting tomorrow - </em>follow with future continuous; especially when specifying the duration of time 'for some days', 'for a while', and so on. If you simply say 'Starting tomorrow, I am working at home', you would have to remove 'for some time'<em> </em>

<em>
</em>2. You've established that something has happened (something is wrong with the dog), the question then would not be 'what may have BEEN happening', but simply 'what may have happened'
