My Notebook is too long and complicated, can I easily divide it into two or more Notebooks?

Pourquoi on ne peut pas écrire?

1)Après être séparé au lieu de après s’être séparé. Dans la premiere option est-ce qu'il faut un objet....après être séparé de .... qqchose

2)six mois avant au lieu de six mois plus tôt?

3)That was the last time we played matchmakers

   j'ai ecrit

   c’était la dernière fois qu'on a joué les matchmakers.(c'est acceptable??)

Merci .

Is there a rule about using hyphens with 'et un' when added to thirty, etc.?

I understand about the "l'orientation" part, but shouldn't this read "Je n'ai jamais eu DE sens . . .." ?   In negative sentences, we are told to use "de" after a negative express in order to express no/any, which seems to be exactly what this sentence is doing.  Why translate "I've never had A good sense of direction" with a definite article?

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)

I believe that the adjective arrière is invariant; hence, no need for the plural.   If I recall, there was another instance of this in this weekend workout.

Can you also use the verb détester as in je déteste

OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction:  (a) Non, je ne le sais pas.  (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. 

Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too:  (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.  (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.
