le jeudi d'apres vs. le jeudi suivant

Question

(first off, the software doesn't allow an accent on the "e" in "apres" on this page... I didn't forget :-)

In doing an exercise, I got a question wrong. I think I got it wrong because I answered "jeudi suivant" instead of "le jeudi suivant" -- but the only correct answer provided was "le jeudi d'apres." However, the lesson seems to say that "le jeudi suivant" would also be correct. Should this also be provided as a possible correct answer, or what am I missing? Thanks!

Bonjour Brian, 
I could only find one example with jeudi and having checked both -
le jeudi suivant 
and 
le jeudi d'après
 should be accepted.
Are you sure you didn't miss the 'le', which has to be there?

Bonjour 9832,
As Cécile explained "le jeudi suivant / d'après" are both accepted. However, we decided to score the answer "jeudi suivant" as "nearly correct/half-correct" as only "le" is missing.
Also @Patrick, cases using "le [day of week] d'après" are covered in the lesson (see the examples below which is the lesson in the section on "Le jour d'après / Le jour d'avant":
Le jeudi d'après, elle était partie. = The following Thursday, she was gone.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

I have the same question. Cases using "le [day of week] d'apres" do not seem to be covered in the lessons.
