For 'Elle va avoir soixante ans demain', can we also say 'Elle aura soixante ans demain'? Merci!

I was intrigued by "dans ces moments-là" which is dropped into the examples without explanation of the choice of preposition. Maybe because it’s a generalisation, which doesn’t reference a particular time? I can’t see that it’s down to the choice of "moment" because you can say "en ce moment".

S'est occupée is passé composé.  This is a single action completed in the past.  But the text describes an action over the years.  Why not s'occupait?

Why is there a 'le' between 'tu' and veuilles in this sentence 'C'est comme ça, que tu le veuilles ou pas' instead of just que tu veuilles.

I'm wondering if in the lesson on d'ici.... the English translation might be "between now and such and such a date or time" and that d'ici be explicitly contrasted with "dans", which of course refers to a specific time when such and such will be done rather than a span of time within which it will be done. Just a thought. It was not until I came up with this idea that I began to understand "d'ici..."

Why cette année instead of cet an?  

OK, I spelled 'conduisiez' wrong, but I am puzzled as to the of the expletif 'ne' here.  As I understand it, it has no negative meaning, but how does one know when to use it in these subjunctive clauses?

Hi, in the mini-quiz, it gives une histoire très interessante as correct. However, I understood that if the adjective is modified by an adverb of only one syllable, it comes before the verb. As in the given example un très joli manteau. So by that logic, it should be une très interessante histoire?
