Demain est l'adverbe temporel du lendemain. Demain matin (tomorrow morning), demain soir (tomorrow evening), demain midi (tomorrow at noon) précisent le moment. À demain (see you tomorrow) est une formule d'au revoir quotidienne très fréquente.
Après-demain (the day after tomorrow) et avant-hier (the day before yesterday) complètent le paradigme temporel. C'est pas demain la veille (it won't happen tomorrow, it won't happen any time soon) est une expression familière d'improbabilité. Le proverbe ne remets pas à demain ce que tu peux faire aujourd'hui est le pendant français du "don't procrastinate".
