La veille vs. Le jour d'aprèsHere is the sentence in question: "The day before, I had written him a letter." Why is "Le jour d'après" in this context wrong and "La veille" correct? I couldn't, for the life of me, apply the explanation given in the corresponding lesson to this problem. Can someone help?

Question from the Writing Challenge that references "en"This lesson is referenced in the Week 1, B1 writing challenge but it does not contain information on the use of "en" in the part where the speaker says he will see places in Paris "that I've only seen in photos." The answer uses "que je n'ai vues qu'en photos." Why is en needed there? Thanks.

Why is there no « de » after pas in this exam with languages?Is there not a rule « ne pas de »? How comes you don’t use « de » in this example: Ils ne parlent pas espagnol/ l’espagnol. ?
