In English "the day after", "the next day" and the "the following day" mean the same. Likewise "the day before" = "the previous day". In French, do le lendemain, le jour d’après and le jour suivant /la veille, le jour d’avant and le jour précédent differ from each other in meaning or mainly in register?

Secondly, from the point of view of today, are l’après-demain and l’avant-hier used in conversation?

Wrong to use ‘blesser’?

Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.

L'Imparfait vs "être(L'imparfait) en train de + infinitive

As stated in the lesson if you are emphasizing something in the past "en train de" can be used. Therefore if you are emphasizing "Henri was having a nap when his boss came in "

"Henri était en train de faire une sieste ..." should be acceptable
