There are differences between the expressions nowadays, these days, and today?
In an English exercise I've encountered this expressions:
- Nowadays.
- These days.
- Today.

I must use them is the blanks of the sentences below:
1.- Peter used to be poor actor. _____________ he is a celebrity.
2.- In the past, dating used to be so romantic. _____________ things are different.
3.- My parents met when they were 18 and got married a year later. ______________ people got married when they were young.

I think these all expressions mean the same and I can to use them indifferently. I'm right?

Thanks for your help.

Answer

Dario is quite right. You can use them interchangeably, and none of those fit Number 3. The only thing that would fit there is 'in those days'. Or did you copy it incorrectly.

Ｉ would suggest you change your last sentence:
I think these all expressions mean the same thing, and I can to use them interchangeably. Am I right?
We would not normally say I'm right? as a question. Perhaps I'm right, aren't I. 'indifferently' means without caring, rather than without making a mistake.

Answer

They're completely interchangeable. Also, there seems to be something wrong with the third sentence. None of the answers would fill the blank properly. Just skip that one. :)

Answer

they mean the same 
I think u can use any of them as you want (but iam not sure)
