la prochaine fois
I have encountered la prochaine fois recently. Why might prochain (e) precede the verb?
This question relates to:French lesson "Prochain/Dernier = Next/Last + [durations] in French"

Bonjour Jennifer,
There's a slight difference in meaning.
La fois prochaine means "next time - and soon."
La prochaine fois means "next time" whenever that may be.
