The classic beginning of the reports: in the past year the association produced so many cars, washing machines, books... It seems that there is nothing interesting here for a linguist. They produced and produced, in the past so in the expired. And yet for some reason I linger on this simple phrase. Why, in fact, should we say “in the past year” and not in “the past year”?
Indeed, if “in the year” - then “in the past”. “Expired” could be a week, a month also “expired”, an expired century, and even - I’m afraid to say it - an expired millennium! In short, if we are talking about time, about the fact that some period has expired, then only the word “expired” is appropriate.
— What have you done over the past year?
- We?.. Over the past year? Yes, it seems like we haven’t done anything special over the past year... but, however, it’s not for us to judge.
But the word “expired” also exists, we know that for sure! All that remains is to remember when we say “expired”, and for insurance it would be worth looking into explanatory dictionaries. Exactly: the word “expire” has two meanings - to end (about time) and to flow out. Actually, all other forms of this verb coincide in both meanings, except for one: that very participle.
If a person is wounded and bleeding, we say “bleeded to death.”

Dear philologists! Please answer the question. Of the three recording forms:
1) “for+vin.case” (verification of activities... in 2011-2013 and for the past period of 2014);
2) “in + vin. case” (verification of activities... in 2011-2013 and the expired period of 2014);
3) “in + prepositional case” (check of activities... in 2011-2013 and the expired period of 2014) -
the institution where I work uses the latter (No. 3). The same form is used in other sentences (In the period under review it was carried out...). I know that the most competent version of entry No. 1. But the problem is that for some reason the department prefers formulation No. 3. Moreover, attempts to use form No. 2, a “compromise” in terms of the degree of admissibility, are suppressed by linguists from the legal department. Is it correct? In what sources can one find clarification on this issue in order to have a reasoned discussion? I didn’t find anything in manuals on official business style. Thank you in advance for your help.
The options vary in meaning. Option audit of the enterprise’s activities in the past period of 2014 may mean that the activities of the enterprise related to a given period are being checked, and that the audit itself is carried out precisely in this period. Option checking the activities of the enterprise for the past period clearly indicates that the activities of the enterprise related to this period are being checked. Therefore, to eliminate ambiguity, it is better to use this option.
