Mon frère ________ quand on joue ensemble

why me fait mal is correct but fait mal à moi is incorrect ?

" No you cannot say , 'le jour suivant le mariage' you could say, ' le jour après le mariage' but ' le lendemain du mariage' is even better... "

I have 2 questions about this answer:

Q1) Compare the example "Il a été relâché le jour suivant son arrestation." with "Il s'est réveillé le jour suivant le mariage". Do these both not follow the same pattern of the day following+[something]. What is it about the latter that is wrong?

Q2) Cécile has indicated we could say le jour après le mariage but in the lesson we can read "You cannot say le jour après in French." So which is it?

Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?

During a quiz, the question posed was, 

Vous _______________ dans le placard. 

I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.
