Cases where both can be used?Elle n'attend pas grand-chose de lui. Elle ne s'attend pas à grand-chose de lui. Are both above phrases correct? If yes, do they mean differently? She doesn't expect much of him.

Last days versus last days of the year - "dernier"Regarding "Les derniers jours de l'année sont toujours plus courts." and, "Les jours derniers, j'étais un peu malade." I'm unsure about the reasoning for the positioning of derniers in the second sentence. Is it because they are not "final" days because that would imply that the person is dying and the sentence says there are only a little sick so therefore dernier goes after jours?
