Perfect infinitive vs Après queDoes the sentence "Après qu'il a quitté la soirée, Eric est rentré chez lui" mean the same as "Après avoir quitté la soirée, Eric est rentré chez lui." Is using "après que" an easier way to say the same thing?

two questionswhy "la Saint-Patrick" and not "le jour de Saint-Patrick?" Saint Patrick is masculine as is "jour" however in the answer it is feminine. And could "feter" be used instead of "celebrer" Thank you Christine Clegg

Why is it "Certain" rather than "Some"?I'm a little confused. In the lesson above it said "Before the noun, certain/certaine means 'some' or 'particular': it retains a vagueness here. After the noun, the meaning of certain is similar to the English one of being 'sure, certain, unquestionable'." Yet in the example "Certain projets sont faciles" means "Certain projects are easy." Why is it "Certain" and not "Some"? Many thanks Catherine

How take the intitial proficiency test again is you are a premium userPlease provide a link to the general "proficiency" test. I can only find it if I start fresh as a non-paying user for the first time. So I have to create a new account again to find it. I should be able to find the test if I am a premium user
