Sans rien - “without nothing“. In English this would be a double negative and would therefore theoretically mean “with something”. But in French would we always say “sans rien” or could we also say “avec rien”?

"de" or "des"

"Bonjour

Can you please clarify for me why the answer on 1 of the questions - see below - contains "de" before the adjective and noun?

"Ta soeur et ses amis ont de jolies poupées."

I would have expected "des" because "poupées" is plural.

La veille vs. Le jour d'aprèsHere is the sentence in question: "The day before, I had written him a letter." Why is "Le jour d'après" in this context wrong and "La veille" correct? I couldn't, for the life of me, apply the explanation given in the corresponding lesson to this problem. Can someone help?
