Il faut qu'ils sachent conduireJust to test it. Is the rule as follows. If these verbs are preceded with something like il faut subjuntive, if not and positive, indicative, if not and negative subjunctive, subjunctive? Eg il faut qu'ils sachent conduire, ils savent conduire, ils ne sachent pas conduire. Correct or not please?

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?

des maux de têteMaux is the plural of mal? When do we use maux instead of mal? I thought headache is mal à la tête. How come à/aux is not even in the sentence? Thanks.
