Are they interchangeable?
Hi. Please check the ones underlined can be used interchangeably without changing basic meanings.
(talking on the phone or perhaps in an email)
Hi, I'm going to my hometown to spend a few / a couple of days and then / after that going to my friend's hometown.
Also, is there a difference between the two? If yes, what is the difference? Let's assume the part (with the letters "XX")
"July XX" represent a certain date. Thank you in advance for your help.
He went home on July XX and two days later / after two days, he headed to his friend's hometown.
