Is there one place where the pronunciation of "plus" is explained? I'm halfway through A1 and it seems sometimes the "s" is pronounced and other times not.

Parmi les deux professeurs celui-ci est aimable mais, celui-là est stricte.
Or
Parmi les deux professeurs celui-ci est aimable mais, celle-là est stricte.

So, I will always be faulted for this apparent mistake even though I have done my best to avoid it.
How would you translate an exchange like this into French:
"Would you like to go for a walk?"
"Yes, after you make me breakfast."
Is it
"Aimerais-tu faire une promenade?"
"Oui, après que tu m'auras préparé le petit déjeuner." ?
