usage of le jour suivant

The English translation of the sentence "Le jour suivant, Ali Baba retourna à la grotte" is Ali Baba returned to the cave the following day. I don't understand why you used future simple instead of passe compose? Thank you.

Not translating du to some

In the test above, for the translation of "Marie achète du café.", I chose "Marie buys some coffee", due to the lesson above. However, the correct answer is "Marie buys coffee". Why is this?

"Nous souffrons de son manque d'attention." The sound leaves out the first syllable of "manque."

Pourquoi estçe qu'on doit user "en" dans cette phrase?

J'ai vu cette phrase dans un des exercices:

Ça serait fantastique si j'en avais ras-le-bol de mon boulot

Et je ne comprends pas pourquoi je dois écrire "en" là. Je comprends que cet "en" prend le lieu du "mon boulot", (n'est-ce pas?) mais "mon boulot" est là, alors pourquoi devons-nous le répéter?

Quelle vie impossible que celle d'une chatte comme moi !

Is this an idiomatic exclamation? I don't see what the 'que' is doing grammatically.

Translation of "Would you like to try?"

I translated this as, Voulez-vous en goûter. Apparently, the 'en' is not necessary as it was crossed out in the correction. In English, the word, some, is implied after try or taste, suggesting an indefinite amount. If she had said, "Would you like to try one?", I believe the translation would be "Voulez-vous en goûter un". Can you comment?

Is there a typo ?

«Elle vient d'envoyer une lettre à son amie à Londres»

This question tests this lesson but includes the phrase "son amie" -- can that ever be correct?
