Qui fait les mots "à ce que" dans la phrase suivant: "Vous aurez pu le rejoindre d'ici à ce que je sorte du travail"?
" No you cannot say , 'le jour suivant le mariage' you could say, ' le jour après le mariage' but ' le lendemain du mariage' is even better... "
I have 2 questions about this answer:
Q1) Compare the example "Il a été relâché le jour suivant son arrestation." with "Il s'est réveillé le jour suivant le mariage". Do these both not follow the same pattern of the day following+[something]. What is it about the latter that is wrong?
Q2) Cécile has indicated we could say le jour après le mariage but in the lesson we can read "You cannot say le jour après in French." So which is it?

Why is it not "....qu'elle s'agit....." as both the sculpture (which we know is a woman and is specific) is feminine and/or Catherine is feminine?
Also is the use of the conditional perfect, because this is a legend and therefore there is some doubt as to whether it actually happened?
1. Ce sont de longues jupes nouvelles. 2. Ce sont des jupes longues et nouvelles. 3. Ce sont de longues jupes nouvelles. 4. Ce sont de longues et nouvelles jupes. Which one is the correct sentence? Please clarify. Thanks in advance.
At the beginning of the lesson, it is written that "En, au and aux" are used for countries, which I'm fine with, but later on it also says that "En, dans la and dans l' " are also to be used with countries. (Regions, states and countries) My question is, if I wanna say that I'm going to a musculine country and I have both Dans le / Dans l' and Au, which one do I use? I'm so confused!
Les livres desquels je pense sont remarquable. The books I am thinking of are remarkable; the preposition here is de.
