next/coming/following?

those are a little confusing.

Example: Today is 18th/May/Mon.

Am I correct as follows?

1. The next Friday is 22nd/May.

2. This Friday is also 22nd/May.

3. The coming Friday is 29th/May.

following is the same as coming.

4. The last Sunday is just yesterday.

5. This Sunday is also yesterday 17th/May.

6. The next and coming Sunday is the same. if it is, which is more natural?

Update:

also confusing with "this week" which means bet 17th to 23rd.

This Friday may mean this week's Friday meanwhile the coming Friday may mean Friday of next week.

    No.  Coming is the same as next, so, the coming Friday is the 22nd.  The following one is the 29th.

    Last Sunday was yesterday.  This Sunday is the next one (24th).  Coming would be after that, and could theoretically be any of the future Sundays.
