The correct response - Tu peux venir avec Alice et moi si tu veux.
What is the rule here regarding present tense vs conditional?
Why "moins DE soixsante jours" and not "moins QUE soixsante jours"? Accourding to the rule, we should have used 'de' if we wanted to say moins DE jours que de nuits. But here, as I understand, 2 or 3 days is less QUE 60. Thank you

Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.
Bonne journée !
Are the expressions "à la fin de" and "au bout de" interchangeable or are they used in different contexts?
