If, as mentioned, most people use the subjonctif after "après que", wouldn't it be odd to a francophone to hear the passé composé?
Après que je SUIS allé????
Even school teachers would say " Après que je SOIS allé"
''Je crois que le modèle que nous imaginions, où les gens travaillaient de chez eux, s'est concrétisé.''
For example, in the sentence above, 'où' does not mean 'when' or 'where'; rather, it is used to describe the 'modèle', which is not a time or place. Why is the use of 'où' still correct?
Thank you.

Note: the penultimate sentence doesn’t correct. It skips over after you submit it.
According to the above rule, each/every month should only be chaque mois, since "chaque" goes with a singular noun, and "tous les" goes with a plural noun. How is "mois" plural? Just because it has an "s" at the end? Very confusing. Please help!
